Lincoln made these women visible, in respectful and beautiful photographs. People forget how little attention was paid to the women in the downtown eastside, even as they were disappearing. His show at the Helen Pitts gallery, and subsequent publicity, helped force (in my opinion) the RCMP to take over the investigation of these disappearances and, in a single day, determine that Pickton was the one responsible. Did Lincoln’s photographs save lives? Probably.

Well it’s typical of people such as Laurel to take a shot at someone who was actively integrating with these people, to uplift, or at least document for posterity the deplorable state of the dtes. In my view, and in the view of many who have tracked this story for a long time, and among those who have written about it for the local media [such as myself], Lincoln became caught in a whirlwind of social rage as an easy target for those who could not vent it in other more constructive ways. It seems, Laurel, that is still going on. Many of those women would have died anonymously had he not taken the time to photograph them. Anonymity is overrated on the dtes, that’s for sure.

what lincoln clarkes ever did before ‘heroines’ i do not know. it was this book that shot him to fame, or perhaps infamy, in many of our eyes. i’m sure it made him a ton of coin, directly or indirectly. how much of that, if any, did you put back into the community? i’m afraid 5 bucks and bubblegum doesn’t cut it, especially for anyone who you inadvertently ‘outed’ out there in the wide world, outside of the relative safety and anonymity many folks find in the dtes.

Amazing. The bitter honesty and truth causes one to look at themselves and the essence and aura of beauty in its raw form.
