Victor (Lower West Side series) 1992

"Victor (Lower West Side series)" is a black and white photograph taken in 1992 by Milton Rogovin, an American photographer renowned for his social documentary work. Rogovin's "Lower West Side" series documented the lives of residents in the Lower West Side of Buffalo, New York. This photograph captures a man named Victor, standing casually with his hands in his pockets, against a backdrop of a brick wall and an old, worn-out couch. Rogovin’s work often focuses on the dignity and resilience of ordinary people, and this portrait of Victor offers a glimpse into the daily life of someone living in the Lower West Side.
