Anthony S. Karen: A photojournalist?s unrestricted access to the Ku Klux Klan (PHOTOS).
During an interview with FotoEvidence, which published his book White Pride, Karen spoke about his level of access to one of the least-understood organizations. I think a lot of the credibility Ive earned also stems from my basic philosophy that you need to give some of yourself in order to receive anything back. I spend time with people, I listen to what they have to say, and I treat each person as an individual. I dont have to believe what they believe, but whenever Im in someones space, I feel Im obliged to observe without judgment.That's not to say I wouldn't intervene if I felt a situation called for it, but I choose to observe moment to moment and simply take in what I see and experience without presumption or pretext, he said.
