If you remember New York City in the Seventies....,
By Tom (NY) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: New York State of Mind (Hardcover)
....before it was Starbuck-ed, Disney-ized and Giuliani-fied, before "Sex & the City" made it a boring cliche... If you can remember when real people could still afford to live in Manhattan, this book is for you. The black-and-white photographs are not of landmarks and tourist attractions, but of the everyday miracles that made New York the city it was back then. A bunch of guys helping to push out a car stuck in the snow. A lady doing a grand jete over a massive puddle. A child peeking out of an upper window, a sense of wonder in her eyes. The photos are simple, sometimes elegiac and often brilliant in composition. Wandering through these photographs felt as intimate to me as leafing through a family album.
