Barrio: Photographs from Chicago's Pilsen and Little Village (Chicago Visions and Revisions) ReviewI am no book critic, but I am an armature photographer and a native of the Pilsen neighborhood in Chicago very near where Mr. D'Amato shot the photographs and immersed himself in the daily lives of the people who live there to make this book. For me, Mr. D'Amato is a hero of urban street photography. The photographs are an excellent record of life in the Near West Side and Pilsen during the late 1980's. Paul D"Amato was able to capture and demonstrate the true fabric of this vibrant, bare nuckles, and often violent and changing part of the city. And to do so he found a way to weave himself directly into that fabric. Becoming freind and foe to gang members, business owners and average working class folks - the "story between the images" is an even more compelling tale then the photographs themselves. This book represents on mans solution to take what could have been a dry photojournalistic record of neighborhood life and instead converts the experience to one of immersion into the day by day and night by night struggles, battles and loving connections of family, friends and outsiders becoming insiders through shear guts and will.
A true inspiration for anyone interested in urban life, Chicago, Hispanic heritage or urban street anthropology, and of course photography. Thank you, Paul D'Amato for creating this wonderful book.
