Publisher's Synopsis
David Godlis has been taking photographs on the streets of New York for the past 40 years. 'I am a Street Photographer. I walk around with a camera and shoot what I see. I've been doing that ever since I bought my first 35mm camera in 1970.' Godlis Streets is the first book dedicated to the artist and photographer s incredible body of work and focuses on the 1970s and 1980s. Godlis's street photographs from this time capture moments of mundanity, humour and pathos; his gift for acute observation and impeccable framing elevating these images to the extraordinary. A definition of what sincere street photography can and should be, Godlis Streets is the very best photography of its kind. The book is introduced by a foreword by Luc Sante and an afterword by Chris Stein.
