Michael Lang: "Waitress"
Michael Lang‘s interest in photography began at 14 when he was given a Leica camera. He was mentored for a year by advanced amateur photographers, learning composition and photographic technique. Afterward he decided to go outside the confines of the classical photographic image to pursue the photo-essay in order better to communicate what he saw in the world around him. Lang has produced four essays: An Easy Time about a Baltimore poolroom, The Hill Tribe People of Northern Thailand, where he stayed with Akha and Lahu families, Farrish Street, concerning an historic neighborhood in Jackson Mississippi, and be bar, a neighborhood gay bar in Washington, DC. Lang’s exhibits have been favorably reviewed in The Baltimore Sun, The Washington Post, and the Washington City Paper.
