the lab review

Beautiful black and white photographs of the streets of NYC circa '87 to '07 from Sue Kwon. The title Street Level prefectly suits this book, as it covers the city's people in their natural environment - on the street. No frills, just real people doing their thing in the best city in the world. Photos of your average sidewalk citizen are paired up next to the world's biggest stars (like Jay-Z, the Beastie Boys, Kanye, Meth, Alicia Keys, Flavor Flav, etc), but they all look equally interesting when placed in front the unbiased lens of Kwon. In addition, the city's rich cultural diversity is well captured in this fantastic book which is divided into geographical sections from Times Square, LES, Chinatown, Little Italy, and Coney Island to Bronx, Brooklyn, Harlem, and Queens. Hardcover, 222 pages deep. Recommended.
