New York, 1960’s and 1970’s

Fascinating (albeit far too brief!) article about photographs of New York City from the 1960’s and 70’s.  Photography by its nature captures the past.  The beauty of this medium (and film as well) is that you get to actually see the past for yourself.

In this case, these images of New York are, to me, fascinating.  Somewhere among my (far too many) books is one that focused on New York in the 1930’s and 40’s.  Though I’ve only been to New York once, the place is a source of fascination to me.

If it is for you too, then enjoy these pictures!
