New York is a photographic exploration of everything quintessential about New York City, one of the world's most popular tourist destinations. From the Statue of Liberty to the World Trade Center, from Radio City Music Hall to Lincoln Center, from the Guggenheim Museum to the Empire State Building, photographer Mark Crosby takes us on an unforgettable tour of this magical city.
Crosby's vibrant images offer an insider's view of the city's streets and sites, and invite us to participate in the perpetual urban celebration--from Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade to the New York City Marathon to a ticker tape parade in Lower Manhattan. Crosby captures the irrepressible spirit of New York with new photographs taken expressly for this book, and including all the major landmarks, as well as festivals, events, and the people who participate in them, in virtually every neighborhood.
Interspersed throughout this book are charming, thougthful quotes about the city by notable New Yorkers, writers, novelists, and poets--both famous and lesser known. Charlie Smith's lyrical foreword introduces us to the visual poetry of Mark Crosby's pictures.
Perfect for the first-time visitor to the city, as well as for the lifelong resident, New York will appeal to anyone who has felt the draw of this colorful, unique, and undeniably vital city.
