With motivation coming from personal family experiences, Bruce Gilden began photographing drug addicted women in 2015. These portraits have all been taken on the streets of notorious neighborhoods where drugs can be found and money earned to support the subjects’ habits. Gilden’s 2018 book “Only God Can Judge Me” is dedicated to women he photographed over the span of three years in Miami. Earlier this year he visited Philadelphia’s notorious Kensington neighborhood and more recently, traveled to Sao Paolo’s “Cracolândia” (Crackland). Located near Sao Paolo’s busiest train station, Luz, drugs can easily be bought and consumed in Crackland. Despite attempts to redevelop the area and dissipate the concentration of drug users, prostitutes, and homeless people, dealers and addicts still flock to these streets.

If I had been standing when I found this photograph I think I would have fallen down. I never expected to find a photograph of Alf Shead who was a Licensed street photographer on Trafalgar Square let alone his Leica M2 which I have in my possession. This photograph is dated 1978 and I think Alf is taking a photograph of the owner of the Polaroid camera, it's the kind of thing he did. One evening on Trafalgar Square I was approached by a member of the Public who pointed out a very ill looking pigeon lurking under a public bench, the expectation was obvious that she wanted me to dispatch it (different times); not knowing the best way to kill a pigeon without causing further distress I consulted Alf who said that he would do it and promptly euthanised it with my truncheon. When Alf retired in the early 1980s I bought two of his cameras one of which was his much used and battered Leica M2.
