New York City Up And Down

From the author of Photographer's Paradise, which won the 2014 Lucie award for Publisher of the Year for Glitterati Incorporated. Internationally-renowned photojournalist's intimate look at the city he loves most, through decades of social, political, and physical change. Presentation is arranged to highlight cultural elements, rather than the typical decade-by-decade reportage of comparable books. New York City Up and Down is an elegant, incisive, and unexpected review of forty years of exploration by renowned documentary photographer Jean-Pierre Laffont. With 172 black and white images, along with 99 colour photos, Laffont presents a commentary on the ups and downs socially, politically, and visually that have taken place in his favourite city. Organised into three parts, titled 'The City Never Sleeps', 'The Movers and the Shakers' and 'The Mean Streets', this is a book not to be missed by anyone who has ever had any curiosity at all about the 'real' New York City, as seen through the eyes of a true visionary.
