A Choice of Weapons (On Photographer Gordon Parks)

One of the homie Lewis Hegeman's (LH's) favorite photographers, Gordon Parks, will now have his 4,000 prints and 20,000 negatives preserved, cataloged, and made available for public view and study.

Parks, who died in 2006, was the first black photographer to work for the likes of Life and Vogue. And his urban images served as inspiration early in LH's career.
