Brian Finke | “Photo of Today,” Alexia Foundation

Posted on

From the Alexia Foundation:

The photo of the today is from Brian Finke’s 1998 student award of excellence project, “Middle Class American High School.”

The project began as an investigation of drug abuse within Finke’s former high school, where he had heard that the students had shifted from drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana to using crack, cocaine and heroin. Instead of finding the abuse he had heard about, he found beauty, innocence and youth, which he proceeded to document.

It is interesting how one can see the sparks of his love of beauty and vibrancy in this early student project of Finke’s. The project expanded and became Finke’s first published book – 2-4-6-8: American Cheerleaders and Football Players, Photographers by Brian Finke.
