This weekend I visited the Met and was turned on to Leon Levinstein, a photographer who captured candid depictions of life in New York in the 50s, 60s and 70s. I thought I would share my favorite from the exhibit (left, a woman at Coney Island). I’m juxtaposing it with my favorite of this amazing set of portraits - Orchard Beach (The Bronx Riviera) by Wayne Lawrence - that I recently stumbled upon in Mother Jones.  View high resolution
