In "The Little People of America" (1971), Krims received permission to photograph people belonging to a national organization founded by the actor Billy Barty, called "The Little People of America." Many of the pictures were made at national conventions of the L.P.A, in Oakland, CA, and Atlanta, GA. Krims sought to show that the people he photographed were brave, normal people, having more in common with the Mid-West than the Upper-West-Side, unlike the way the dwarf was portrayed in the history of art or contemporary photographs.
