Picture Man the Poetry of Photographer Milton Rogovin

Milton Rogovin is a world renown social documentary photographer who focuses his lens on poor and working people in ten nations. His photographs are collected by major museums around the world. At age 89, Rogovin had more to say about the lives of the people he photographed and wrote poems that shed light on those he called "the forgotten ones."

I've always wished I had an eye for the simple picture that would make a spectacular photograph. Milton Rogovin does that every time. And the simple poetry that says it all.

I hope this will inspire young people to write poetry and to think about using poetry and art to help bring about a better world.
