Larry Clark's photos are a representation of his child hood. He lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma and gained most of his photographic technique by being his mother's assistant when she did door to door baby photography. He left his home to pursue photography and filmmaking, however when he came back he found all of his childhood friends addicted to drugs. His Tulsa Portfolio depicts these images in realistic yet beautifully aesthetic way.
