Apr. 24th, 2005 05:20 pmПолучил из Амазона «The New American Ghetto» Камило Хозе Вергары -- Нью-Йоркского фотографа и автора, исследователя и историка американского градостроительства. Грандиозная книга, жаль, фотографии мелковаты. Вот бы попасть на его выставку. У Вергары должен быть колоссальный архив -- он десятилетиями фотографирует Нью-Йорк, Ньюарк, Чикаго, Детройт, Гери и другие города нашей страны в жанре "как было и как стало". ( книги Вергары на Амазоне )

Schoolboys watching mating dogs, South Bronx, 1973.
