Legacy: The Preservation of Wilderness in New York City Parks

Monday 28 September 2009

This compelling body of work is the result of a unique commission by the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation. They asked Joel Meyerowitz to document, interpret, and celebrate one of the city’s greatest legacies: nearly 29,000 acres of parks in the five boroughs.

Through this stunningly rich archive of parks, shorelines, and forests, Meyerowitz’s “Legacy” transports the viewer into the heart of the wilderness throughout New York City, much of which remains unseen and unknown to the millions of city dwellers.

Meyerowitz is the first photographer to document New York City’s parks since the 1930s, when they were photographed as part of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s WPA program.

Willy Ronis 1910-2009

Tuesday 15 September 2009

Willy Ronis, one of the great French post-war photographers, died on Saturday 12th September. He was 99.

Ronis made his name photographing everyday life in Paris. Richard Bram remembers him as “A great photographer and a charming gentleman”, and recalls “a delightful conversation with him in London. I went to hear him speak at the Institut Français in Kensington, London, and had met him one other time. I treasure those moments.”

David Gibson met him too, and remembers “his phrase ‘the fear of missing’ about his photography. One of the true greats.”

Ronis took this beautiful image of his wife, Marie-Anne Lansiaux, in 1949.

Manifesto

In-Public was set up in 2000 to provide a home for Street Photographers.

Our aim is to promote Street Photography and to continue to explore its possibilities, we are a non commercial collective. All the photographers featured here have been invited to show their work because they have the ability to see the unusual in the everyday and to capture the moment. The pictures remind us that, if we let it, over-familiarity can make us blind to what’s really going on in the world around us.

I’m not crazy about the term “street photography” to describe what I do, because it’s not necessarily done on the street. The pictures can be taken on a farm, at the zoo, in an office, and so on. Let’s say we consider the general categ…
