Most photographers give Jamel Shabazz the credit and the respect that he deserves. Read that sentence again -- and notice how I talk about photographers. When I use this word, I'm referring to people who genuinely care about photography as a still image and not as a reel to be thrown together and forgotten about by an algorithm.
But the larger art world doesn't seem to hold him in the reverence that truly should be given to him. His work is incredible, and more importantly, he's been able to do things that few other photographers have ever done. What's more, there aren't many photographers, even today, that are trying to do what he does. . thephoblographer.com
