New York is an exciting city but in the 1970's and 1980's before recent 'gentrification' it also felt menacing, even dangerous.

New York is probably the most exciting city I have visited. The architecture is extraordinary and the people some of the most interesting and diverse and I was lucky enough to be there to witness a period of great sociological and cultural change. I moved to Manhattan in 1968 and stayed there for about two years but most of my early negatives were all lost and these images date from visits to the city in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
