Trivia
Clichés of photographers such as Gordon Parks, Jack Garofalo and Paul Fusco helped restore the mood of the city's neighborhoods in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Photographs of "Tombs" (New York prisons) ) 1973-74 by Bruce Davidson also proved invaluable. For light, Barry Jenkins and cinematographer James Laxton looked at Roy DeCarava's work: "We wanted to translate Baldwin's language and Harlem's clean energy into visual writing and photography."
Quotes
Sharon Rivers:
