New York Life: A Tumblr Show

From time to time I take on small photographic projects. One of these is called 1,000 Photographs of New York City.

Beginning in early October of 2001 and ending at around ten in the evening of November 9, 2002, I kept a detailed photographic record of what we were like and how we lived in New York in that shaky first year of our unsought new era. During those months I took over 23,000 photographs in all the areas and neighborhoods and places in which I found myself, night and day. Of these I destroyed most. In the end, I kept about 5,000 that struck me as worth preserving for one reason or another. Of those I've narrowed it down to 1,000.

I began this tonight and will continue with it until all 1,000 images of the set are uploaded -- no matter how many days, weeks, months that may take. In general I'll try to add ten to twenty images from the set per day, but not promises.

If this appeals to you you might want to bookmark: 1,000 Photographs of New York City.

I will look forward to these.

I've never 'done' New York.

I will see it through your eyes.

Should be very interesting.

Not bad for an amateur.
