Jim Lewis for the NYT, "Photography — like music and unlike, say, architecture — is a field that encourages prodigies; Davidson was one. When he was only 23, he was invited by Henri Cartier-Bresson himself to join Magnum Photos, and by the time he found the Jokers, he’d already produced an impressive body of work, including a series on the Lower East Side and a strange, touching portfolio of a dwarf who worked for a traveling circus. Dozens if not hundreds of assignments and projects were to come: pictures of Central Park, of the English countryside, of the civil rights movement and, perhaps most famously, “East 100th Street,” a Jacob Riis-like study of the infamous heart of a New York ghetto."
