For street photographers, New York has always been a city of unparalleled visual excitement, teeming with diverse people and distinctive neighborhoods. New York: Capital of Photography examines how photographers chronicled New York throughout the twentieth century, how the city changed their vision, and how their work affected ideas about New York throughout the world. From Lewis Hine’s 1905 picture of recent immigrants at Ellis Island to Nan Goldin’s portraits of her friends over the past thirty years, these photographs reveal the true vitality of New York.

Notes
- "Published in conjunction with the exhibition … the Jewish Museum, New York, Apr. 28-Sept. 2, 2002; Madison Art Center, Madison, Wisconsin, Dec. 7, 2002-Feb. 16, 2003; Musée de l’Elysée, Lausanne, Switzerland, Apr. 10- June 9, 2003)"–T.p. verso
- "Most of these photographers were Jewish. New York: Capital of Photography examines their responses to their environment in the context of a Jewish sensibility, as manifested especially by the depiction of viewer-viewed relationships in the public - and not so public - spaces of the city. This book recognizes and newly analyzes the influence of Jewish consciousness on the photographic vision of a great metropolis."–BOOK JACKET
