Summary: A Photographic Elegy To New York City's Technological Past
Review: "Invisible New York" is a splendid collection of photographs which pay tribute to New York City's technological past. Stanley Greenberg's large format camera yields dignified, poetic images of long-forgotten historic structures throughout the city. These range from beautiful pictures of bridge supports and hidden passageways to a deserted building at Brooklyn's Floyd Bennett Field, once the city's primary airport. Although others have found New York City's architecture to be a rich source of photographic imagery, few have been as tenacious as Stanley Greenberg in creating stunningly beautiful visual poetry. I must commend Johns Hopkins University Press for publishing this beautiful tome of black and white photographs and keeping it in print. I eagerly look forward to seeing Greenberg's next book, which I think may be on a recent project documenting New York City's water supply system. He is surely one of the most distinguished photographers ever to have graduated from New York City's prestigious Stuyvesant High School.

Summary: 'LOOK INSIDE' ???? Amazon -- how bout-it ????
Review: Hey Amazon --- 'Look Inside' of a book on photography and see no pics ---- sell me! Sorry Stanley, I'm sure you have some great shots in the book, but three reviews and no look inside just doesn't do it. To anyone who's 'thinking' go to a book store if I want to 'Look Inside' -- well ....
I couldn't give one star for Amazon's poor marketing
"LOOK INSIDE"

Summary: Quite simply, a beautiful book...
Review: I have an obsession with abandoned buildings. They are a place I know I can go to be alone because no one visits them anymore but the spirits of those who brought life to the buildings as more than just concrete and steel still linger.It gives one a time to reflect on the temporality of our lives and the finiteness not only of our beings, but of our dreams and visions. It gives us pause to reflect on what is important and profound about life. When we are in these places we are really inside of parts of ourselves we don't recognize.
