More about the book

In this collection, the photographs capture the essence of New York City during 1966-67, showcasing Tod Papageorge's transition from black-and-white street photography to vibrant color images. Influenced by the city's pulse and the looming backdrop of the Vietnam War, these photographs focus on seemingly mundane subjects like shop windows, reflecting deeper societal tensions. The re-issued edition enhances the visual experience with larger plates and a cohesive design, emphasizing the intricate relationship between his color work and the earlier black-and-white series, "Down to the City."
