by Bruce Davidson Aperture. 1995, 121 pp. book dimensions: 10 x 12 inches, 103 duotone images.
"Out-of-town visitors may think that Central Park is off-limits, that it is full of, not necessarily lions and tigers and bears, but at least bandits, which may be true at 3 a.m.; however, in daylight hours, Manhattanites of all persuasions flock to this beloved green space, to make love, jog, watch and be watched, lie scantily clothed in the sun, or, unfortunately in some cases, set up housekeeping under a cardboard roof. Activities find certain limitations in winter, but some of the most arresting shots in this black-and-white album of what people do in Central Park, by an exceptionally talented and much-exhibited photographer, were taken against winter's blanket of snow. No chamber-of-commerce glorifying of city life here, but no unfair disparagement of it, either--Davidson's sharply focused photographs speak of a love of the diversity of human preoccupation and of the wonderful irony inherent in the very fact of Central Park's existence..." --Brad Hooper for Booklist

by Jay Maisel Firefly Books. 2000, 192 pp. book dimensions: 10.5 x 10.5 inches
"New York has been the subject for countless photographs. But few have had a feel for the city that Jay Maisel has. Jay has been photographing New York since the '50s. ... This book is filled with spectacular sights -- marathon runners on bridges, sunlight and moonlight reflecting off mirror walls onto the river, the awesome mass of skyscrapers bunched against blue skies. It's also about New York's people. It has the most surprising faces and details you'll see in any book..." --book description Sample images from this book can be viewed here
by Lance Lensfield teNeues, 2002, 128pp. book dimensions: 15 x 10.5 inches, 103 duotone images.
"Published two years ago to international acclaim, Lance Lensfield’s portrayal of New York at a time of testing is both powerful and nuanced. In technically brilliant large format duotones taken before and after the September 11th attacks, Lensfield reveals a city of extremes: of immense optimism and unrestrained silliness, quiet desperation and sober thoughtfulness. Now beautifully bound in a slip-cased collector’s edition, Lensfield’s images project his own sensitivity to the impact of the tragedy but also remind us of New York’s vitality and strength." --book description
