Roamings




Roamings


Roamings is a collection of essays and black and white photographs taken taken in the last four and a half decades. The images are accompanied by essays and poems.

Several photo essays focus upon life in New York City in the 1980s, as well as Chicago and Washington, D.C. The images and background information provide a view of times and events that are now historical.

Roamings also captures locations including buildings, neighborhoods, waterfronts, trees and parks. 

A special project reveals portraits of neighbors and personal photographs taken during the same time period. A small number of entries contain nudity and thus are NSFW (Not Safe For Work).

Among the photo essays are:

NYC 1980s: People
NYC 1980s: Places
Times Square 1980s — Day
Times Square 1980s — Night
NYC Marathon in the 1980s

Armed Forces Day 1982
