What Future? Possibly 1964 - 1982

"What Future?" is a black and white photograph by James "Jimmie" Mannas Jr., capturing a poignant moment of contemplation. Taken sometime between 1964 and 1982, the photograph features a young man, head bowed and resting on a book, as if weighed down by the weight of the world. His pensive pose, in the shadow of an ornate gate, contrasts with the younger figure in the background, adding to the sense of solemnity. Mannas Jr.'s work, often exploring themes of social justice and urban life, resonates with viewers through its stark realism and intimate portrayal of human experience.
