Gangster Types And Tough Guys

Bruce Gilden

Bruce Gilden's black and white imagery is reminiscent of the film noir he used to watch on TV when he was a child. Ever since, he has had an attraction for tough looking characters, bad guys and their acolytes and the underworld where they operate.

I love Bruce Gilden's voice... Not because I think it's funny or anything, but he is as much of a character as the people he photographs.

I think I'd have a heart attack if Bruce pounced on me with his camera.. But hey, as the mobsters say: "Ya gotta do what ya gotta do"!

Hope they don't do what they do to Bruce Gilden's children.
