New York Street Photography

I've always loved the New York Public Library's digital image collection. The library is one of those underrated community places - there are always something going on there. Now you can see some of its images in person. NYPL is showcasing NYC Street photography. From one of the photographers, Joel Meyerowitz,

“The 60s and 70s was a time of great openness, when photography was still fairly innocent and pure, without the ambitions of today’s Art market driving the action. Photographers then made pictures out of a love for the medium, its mystery and poetry, the intimacy of the little world of photography brought us all together and though there were different methods of approach there was a genuine, mutual respect for the effort we all were making to find the ‘voice’ of the medium.”
