New York photographs

"The discerning eye of each artist has captured a critical aspect of the City's human and physical dimension. Together, the complementary images frame the context and challenge of another social schism: Shall today's urban divisiveness be followed by tomorrow's healing? The mastery of three photographers cannot resolve the central urban delimma. Yet their penetrating portrayal of metropolitan life beyond the glitz--a human-scale battleground for the soul of the City--forcefully heightens civic awareness...Alternatively subtle and stark, their work underscores once again the camera's social import." -- John Jay Iselin, president, Cooper Union, page [1].
