Lawyer, writer and photographer Richard Balzer spent his ICWA fellowship in 1972–1975 exploring the effects of social and economic change on lower-middle-class America. A graduate of Cornell University and Yale Law School, Dick became a senior fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School. As an attorney and organizational consultant whose clients included British Petroleum, Goldman Sachs and NBC, Dick also represented unions—the United Auto Workers, United Steelworkers, International Machinist Union and Harvard Union of Clerical and Technical Workers—promoting joint labor-management efforts. His books reflect a wide breadth of expertise. Street Time is a portrait of New Haven’s Hill neighborhood. China: Day by Day features photographs from a 1972 trip. Next Door, Down the Road, Around the Corner: A Family Album is a sketch of all 50 states. Peepshows: A Visual History documents the optical toys that predated modern cinema.
