Guest: Richard Montgomery
This is the "Mayor" of Pigtown, which is a community in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. I saw Richard´s pictures from this place a couple of years ago on a photo site. And they are still with me. It´s no easy task to achieve what Richard has done; to make people of your neighbourhood visible showing them respect and love. I am truly in love with these photos.

this is the kind of photography which appeals to me with strongest impact, excellent pictures focused on potrayed people, not on the formal aspects
This is great! You have captured the essence of these people, the soul.

Yes Richard,
this is indeed a close and personal portrayal of this township. Could be a difficult subject to some, but it seems to come naturally to you.
