NYC 1970′s

© Leland Bobbé

With the recent launch of my new website I re-edited my collection of street photography from NYC in the mid-1970′s. Looking at this collection of images it struck me once again how much this city has changed since then. Personally I found the old city much more exciting and edgy and wish the current NYC had a bit more of the old. This shot was taken on 8th Ave. just north of infamous 42nd street. This stretch of 8th Ave used to be called the Minnesota Strip because of all the runaways form the mid-west that ended up there as prostitutes. Shot from the hip while walking with a pre-focused 28mm lens on my Nikon FM with Tri-X film.

I am now collaborating with Julie Grahame of aCurator Magazine on a feature which will be coming out soon.
