He was the first person to offer a solo show to major photographers such as Robert Frank , Raymond Moore photographer Raymond Moore , and many others. Edwards struggled to curate in a cramped gallery space and without the financial resources even to produce accompanying exhibition catalogs. Shy and retiring, and without a college education, Edwards did not become a public champion of photography and rarely wrote about it beyond reviewing. But in the years before the art world s acceptance of photography, Edwards offered vital support and encouragement to many emerging photographers, including Jan Saudek , Duane Michals , Algimantas Kezys , Danny Lyon and many others. Edwards was also a photographer during the 1950s he worked on a decade long project to document a roller skating roller rink . He ceased photographing in 1961.
