I bought this book not long ago, and I really enjoy it.
The photographs are both beautiful and mysterious.
It is a must for anyone with an interest in artistic photography. Each photo tells a story...gives you a hint of a life. Spano is a great photgrapher of his time. I'm very interested in his other books and work.
Buy it! It's great.

Spano's work is unique and attuned to the urban experience. Through a multiplicity of approaches, he throws himself--camera lens first--into the continual flux, ego, and uncertainty that is New York and comes away with a document that breaths city. His techniques often require him to work intuitively across a flowing landscape, yet he continually matches the certainty and eloquence of photographers who spend hours on their compositions. It is photography that is--like the city he records over fixed time and changing light--familiar and yet often disturbing round the edges.
