Artist Talk of Photographer Rick Rocamora at the CCP on June 21, 2012

With Passion and Purpose
Photographs by Rick Rocamora and Artist Talk

"The images by San Francisco-based photographer Rick Rocamora focus on the “people he wants us to look at and think about.” Selected black and white photographs represent the various series Rocamora has been pursuing since taking on a career as a documentary photographer in the 1980s. These include the series America’s Second-Class Veterans that captured the plight of the Filipino war veterans. In his regular visits to the Philippines, Rocamora explored themes focusing on the homeless, informal settlers, the maternity ward and the Japayukis. At times, personal bonds are established with his subjects. He is able to capture images that are poignant but not necessarily hopeless conditions." - CCP Website
