Gordon Parks, Rolleiflex photographer

[CarlosMFreaza]

"---Gordon Parks was one of the seminal figures of twentieth century
photography. A humanitarian with a deep commitment to social justice,
he left behind a body of work that documents many of the most
important aspects of American culture from the early 1940s up until
his death in 2006..." (from his biography)

There is a Gordon Parks portrait with his Rolleiflex on the left:

Some of Parks' work. Except for the first title, "Civil rights", you
can find several squares and cropped squares in each title; he also
used other cameras BTW:

The "Civil Rights" title also has Rolleiflex shots, I had only seen
the first photograph.

A couple of days ago mention was made of a Bay Area exhibit.  Here is more information from the San Francisco Chronicle.

Sorry, Rollei people.  When I clicked on the link I find that to have access to the rest of the article you have to be a SF Chronicle subscriber.  My apologies.
