FMP Photographer ideas (Tamara Voninski)

My initial response to the work of Tamara Voninski is that my feelings are drawn to the negative factors of what i personally do not agree with. My reasons for this is because of what he has chosen to shoot in particular he's first image of what can i assume is a member of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) this organisation was seen as negative influence at the time due to there practices ( I.E they discriminated against Black people, Roman Catholics, Jews and Mexicans.
Following on these we're photos that were more than likely dating back as far as 1865 because of the fact that the 'KKK' was found during that year. However his images would be seen as subjective due to the quality and structure of his images  baring mind that technology in terms of cameras was not advanced enough to allow photos to be published  the way Tamara Voninskihas has produced his body of work. However despite my personal opinion of what Tamara Voninski has chosen to shoot his images show the viewer what life was like in America decades ago in addition perhaps the significances of what generally influenced american during that era. To justify this in my opinion i think the photographer has deliberately shot images that signify specific aspects. ( I.E 'KKK, Alcohol, Music, leisure') all off which factors that were mentioned relates to official American history kkk- racism in america, Alcohol- Prohibition etc.
