I Shot New York

Mr. Ginzburg for me has captured the thing that is New York. I got several of these books as gifts for friends going to the City for the first time. It is much easier than trying to tell them about a city they'll only experience a small piece of.

What a phenomenal journey through the greatest city on Earth. Mr. Ginzburg has captured the essence of New York. You must see this book.

Beauty, ugliness, joy, tragedy, humor, on and on, and on, Mr. Ginzburg trains his eye on a tiny slice of time and captures in only a few frames the moments, people and places that make New York one of the greatest cities in the world. This book should be in the cornerstone time capsules of all new buildings in New York, as well as an heirloom essetial for every New Yorker's private library. With sharp writing and dynamic visuals the team of Ginzburg and Ginzburg have done it again. If you love New York, or just excellent photography, this book is a must have.

The book is a great ice-breaker. When people visit my place, they grab it from the coffee table. First they look up what happened on their birthdays, then look for their passions: gossip, sports, celebrities, wildlife.. Princess Di's outfit being checked out by Donna Karan, s & m in Soho, Pete Sampras making a game-winning slam. It's like taking a month in New York City with a chauffeur and endless cash.
