A photographer finds beauty in the everyday activities of Harlem residents in the 1940s. After work, when Roy DeCarava’s time is his own, he wanders the streets of his neighborhood, “hungry” for fleeting moments that can be captured by his 35mm camera. “SNAP!” Roy captures a photo of a boy making a sidewalk chalk drawing. “SNAP!” A woman taking a photo of her son. “SNAP!” Black and brown boys splashing around in the cool spray of a fire hydrant. Roy’s vision is expansive, creative, and admiring; he sees Harlem itself in the eyes of the people on the streets. “Beauty is not in the camera. Beauty is in the person.” Additional information, including a short account of this Jamaican American artist’s work and a timeline of his life, follows the main text. Watercolor scenes strikingly use light and shadow to bring Roy’s Harlem to life, while the sparse, thoughtful narrative, interspersed with quotations, will inspire readers to slow down and find the beauty in their own surroundings.
