Untitled from Off Season Sugar Cane Workers by Youngna Park

You might be most familiar with Youngna Park for her street photography, images of light, and—of course—the Candy Cane Intervention. However, Youngna's work spans the breadth from documentary to commercial to quiet daily observations. I was reminded of this today when I saw that Youngna's series Off Season Sugar Cane Workers is currently featured on GOOD's Picture Show series.

About the series, Youngna writes:

One takeaway was just how relative everyone's situation is. What often attracts image making is tragedy, like we saw with Haiti. I was here to witness these people's normal lives, and the living conditions still seem jarring, so it was certainly an education in relative wealth.

You can see the rest of the series at the GOOD's Picture Show and see more work from Youngna on her website. Of her two 20x200 editions only Winter Flags (East Village, New York) (below) is still available.
