"Morning News" (1974)
“Between 1974-1977, Andrew Satter returned again and again to Russ’s Kitchenette, an iconic railroad car diner. where the morning’s first coffee and the afternoon’s last cigarette marked the rhythm of the day. The patrons were working people— whose names were not written down, whose histories would not be archived. But here, in this twelve-by-thirty-six-foot space, they were recognized and remembered. Satter, a long-haired newcomer with a 35mm camera, worked quietly, in black and white, with an instinct for light and its temperaments. His photographs do not impose. They do not declare. They watch, and they listen.” Adam Giles Ryan (CPW)
