Genius work. I wish the printing wasn't so grainy that you lose detail, but others might find the moody high-contrast effect is perfect for these still startling images.

Absolutely love. Bruce Davison and Joseph Szabo. Favorites. I connected with "Brooklyn Gang" even more than "Subway" (which I also love).
