Comment: This is a really bad and blurry repro of the photo. It's a scan from a postcard. Still a great photo though. It has a great essence and composition. Photos of New York in the 70's are so rich and gritty. I know nothing about Plossu, although I'd like to know more based on this photo, but it's interesting that he is mostly a black and white photographer. I tried to get a monograph of his out from the Dallas Library system but they don't have anything by him. These books are usually so expensive to buy I like to check them out at the library instead. Does anyone know where else I might look (where I don't have to buy!)?
