New York Changing

Manhattanbridge19352001_1

Photographs show old and new skylines, buildings and city artwork from New York City, through the photographs and rephotographs of Douglas Levere. This link comes from an ancient metafilter post, but since the exhibition is about to end at Museum of the City of New York in less than two weeks, I thought it a great time to put in one last plug.  An excerpt from the New York Changing website:

New York Changing, The current body of work by New York City photographer Douglas Levere, is a photographic record of the ever-changing landscape of New York City. Guided by Berenice Abbott’s 1930’s project, Changing New York, Levere revisited neighborhoods and former storefronts, documenting the evolution of the metropolis known for constantly reinventing itself.
