Description

New York City, the capital of the world, captured in stunningly candid pictures and fetchingly personal prose, over the past half-century -- a nostalgic and graphic portrayal of how it was and how it is today. For over 50 years, Krogius has photographed and recorded the many facets of its vibrant and varied life. His focus is less on the city’s famous building and soaring skyscrapers than on the people who live and work there. Krogius’s striking black and white photographs are matched by his prose, one man’s recorded musings about the metropolis over more than five lively decades. He writes, “I hope that through the interplay of text and image I will have stirred memories and associations that bring alive the sense of a great city.”
