In his landmark series Social Graces, Fink explored the contrasting worlds of upscale Manhattanites and rural Pennsylvania townsfolk in the late 1970s. "Some people confuse my work with satire. I don't object, because satire is a powerful force, and if my work is perceived that way, it serves a function," he explains. "But I don't agree. These photos were taken in the spirit of finding myself in the other, or finding the other in myself."
