Nyc: B&W: Photographs, 1965-2018

New York Shadow: Behind The Scenes, is 8 series of photographs, totaling 173. Each chapter is a story about New York City, and of course, the experience of the person taking the pictures. I could be called "an accidental photographer" because I never thought about becoming a professional, though by the mountains of prints and boxes of negatives I have, I am a photographer. Sometimes we are also what we least expect. Today's New York City appears to me denser in terms of people and vehicles (bicycles included), and faster everywhere all the time. I wonder if the staff at Bellevue Hospital today would, or could, stand still long enough to be photographed. Would they appear to be at all relaxed as in these scenes? All photographs are presented full-frame, that is, without cropping, and without alterations other than brightness and contrast adjustments for printing: Coney Island, 1965; Night from a Car Window, 1965; The Feast of San Gennaro, Little Italy, 1971; Manhattan, Washington Heights, c. 1972; Bellevue Hospital, 1982; Times Square from a Bus, 2000; NYC Outtakes, 1970 - 2009; West Side, Lower Manhattan, 2018.
