Описание:
Photographer Barbara Mensch’s rediscovered photo archives and interview tapes capture symbolic transformations of Lower Manhattan. Many of these images are published here for the first time. The photographs evoke the passage of time by dividing the images into three parts: the 1980s, the 1990s, and the new millennium (2000 and beyond). The photographer shares with the viewer: “I would shoot ruins of buildings, the demolition of famous waterfront saloons, ancient alleyways, and, in some cases, nineteenth-century buildings destroyed by mysterious fires. There were images of floods and other calamities/catastrophes in Lower Manhattan, culminating with 9/11. These photos captured what had been, what no longer exists. They served as my visual timeline. What did the passage of the many decades reveal to me? What dynamics were in my images of the same streets I repeatedly walked for years?” The author’s images from the Fulton Fish Market in the 1980s document the generations of immigrants and their children pursuing a gritty American Dream next to the Brooklyn Bridge. Photos from the 1990s present images of floods and fires that paralyzed the area, juxtaposed with continued bulldozing to clear the way for luxury housing. Politics reshaped Manhattan’s skyline by encouraging new commercial shopping, food, and restaurant destinations. This restructuring marked the beginning of the end of downtown’s blue-collar origins and white-collar replacements, challenging us to ask, “What was lost?” The seminal event of the 2000s, September 11, 2001, reinforced downtown’s rebirth as the global economic engine with no room for the past. Also included in this section is an interview with an insider privy to the Mafia leadership of the Fulton Fish Market during Mayor Rudolph Giuliani’s opportunistic crusade against them in the 1980s. Dan Barry, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist, offers a poetic and insightful tribute to the artist and photographer. “Definitions: ‘falling off’ suggests a decline in quality or quantity, ‘falling off’ suggests the passage of time or changes over time, ‘falling off’ suggests a detachment, an alternative path to a questionable destination, ‘falling off’ suggests a separation, ‘falling off’ suggests something that comes to pass.”

Описание: F Street in Love - Whats it About F Street In Love is an erotic "magic" memoir and an epic tale of the search by Clyde Desmond, the protagonist, for love and success as part of the Baby Boomer generation in America during the early seventies through the late eighties told through 278 stories that follow Clyde on his ambitious journey from suburban Connecticut, through New York City and metropolitan New York, to Boston and Washington, DC. His explorations take him to discovering his mothers familys origins coming from England to Boston in 1635, and his great grandfathers escape from Ireland to Boston in the wake of the Irish Potato famine of 1847-48. He traces the salient details of his parents lives intertwined with describing in greater detail his relationship, his falling in love, love life and heartbreaks with three women at separate times and places: an aspiring model, a medical school applicant and a college student turned law student. Clyde actively supports his girlfriends quest for success and aims to please them in bed. Follow Clyde on his three-month adventure through Europe, his love connection in Italy, his exploration of the art and architecture at the Sistine Chapel, the Vatican Museum and St. Peters Basilica in Rome, and in Paris, including the Louvre Museum. Join him in America along the Atlantic seaboard, down to Florida, through the American Heartland out to California, and at Woodstock. Read his stories about music including Rock n Roll, Altamont, Motown, the British Invasion, Disco and Punk Rock, and the dance music of 1984. Through his brother Bobby, Clyde meets Beverly Anne Johnson in 1965 and she remains close to him until tragedy strikes. Through her Clyde is exposed to racism through the eyes of a Black woman and that is reflected in numerous stories in the book. Other stories are about 6os Idealism, the Vietnam War, Religion on the personal level, Drugs & Alcohol; Harvard and the impact of the Titanic; and the Oktoberfest in Munich. Clydes friend Jerry eventually comes out of the closet, but not to Clyde, a straight guy. F Street In Love includes many stories about Clydes interaction with the Gay community, including his becoming a waiter at an all gay, but him, wait staff at a restaurant in Boston, and his late night arrival in Munich, Germany. The stories will make you laugh, cry, or wonder why.
