"In Tulsa, Clark first eliminated one of the rhetorical mainstays of documentary photography: the distance of the 'objective' observer from his or her subjects. The initial shock of Tulsa was that it was photographed from inside the story, and this changed everything. Tulsa, which was Larry Clark's first book, was published by Ralph Gibson's Lustrum Press, and the book was really a collaboration between Clark and Gibson."-David Levi Strauss in Roth, Book of 101 Books, p. 208-209
