Description: This book offers a powerful new perspective on a much photographed subject: New York City. The book's creator is veteran news photographer (and former publisher of incendiary magazines) Ralph Ginzburg, who assigned himself the daunting task of photographing a different news event in The Big Apple on 365 consecutive days. The result is a year-long, 510-image extravaganza of the high drama and grandeur that are the everyday life of Gotham.

I Shot New York resounds with the city's parades and protests, funerals and weddings, conflagrations and ribbon-cuttings. It is a gallery of the show-biz superstars, politicos, crooks, cops, Presidents, elephants, Pope, baseball greats, soldiers, stuntmen, drug addicts and divas who pervade this exuberant matrix of commerce and culture.
