Product Description
Review
"Graphic designer and author Gabriela Kogan has compiled more than five hundred color photos taken in New York City by sixty photography enthusiasts who work as writers, architects, sound recordists, engineers, telecommunications executives, and other day jobs, turning to the camera to express themselves on the side, whether they live in or near the city or were traveling from far away." ~Twi-NY.com
Product Description
This keepsake album is the freshest collection of images published in many years savoring the many facets of New York. Some intimate and detailed, others wide-angled, these photographs explore the grand chaotic serendipity that makes New York so vibrant. Tourists and visitors often comment on this remarkable energy—people feel more alive in New York, especially when they are new to it—and this is the perfect keepsake album that captures (and re-captures) that initial dumbstruck awe and rush of adrenaline that everyone has felt here. The photographs also explore the contrasts that define New York—the highs and the lows, the grand and the ordinary. From penthouses to piers and from bucolic Central Park to carnivalesque Coney Island, the book explores New York’s amazing contradictions that somehow come together in a unique masterpiece. From the heights of the Empire State to the nether realms of the subway, from the burlesque zaniness of Gay Pride to the busting Chinatown streets beneath the bridge, from luxury boutiques to colorful bodegas, and from Lincoln Center to the street corner chanteuse—the contrasts of the city are captured in this album to form a coherent picture of the genius and excitement that is the city.

amazing!, May 27 2010
By Sarah Heppell "Sarah!" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: New York: A Photographic Album (Hardcover)
What an awesome compilation of imagery. It's well organized, including similar photographs near each other within the book. The pictures are great, and of all skill levels. What I liked most was the fact the author incorporated images from even the late 50's to show the evolution of New York as well as photographic quality. I would definitely suggest this to anyone who has been to NYC and needs a great coffee table book for guests to pick up and flip through, and perhaps relive a past NYC trip.
