"New York is a city you must behold not only with your eyes but also with your heart" Stefano Lucchini The idea for this book got its spark two years ago when the author bought a curious photo album. The film contained fleeting snapshots of a New York that never sleeps, from the southern tip of Manhattan north past Central Park. The images serve to create a perfect homage to the grand metropolis, demonstrating its vibrancy despite being shot in black and white, and revealing a melting pot of different people, realities and sentiments. REVIEW: "This book is a beautiful assortment of previously unknown photographs. Though each picture evokes a different aspect of the city, the collection as a whole reflects New York s endless creative energies and aspirations" Gay Talese ILLUSTRATIONS: 110 b/w photographs
