| Summary: | Continues the tradition, actually the several traditions, of photography in New York City. The predecessors of William Meyers worked almost entirely in Manhattan, but he worked in the other four boroughs, Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island. Most of his pictures were taken on anonymous streets where the people of the place live and go about their business. They represent the quotidian, not the spectacular. They are the outer boroughs of the spirit as well as of the physical city. The work is not concerned with documentation, the way things look, but with thusness, the feel of a place at a particular moment. Each image represents a certain ti me in a certain part of a certain city where, he has found, even in unlikely neighborhoods there are occasions for beauty. |
