Facing new york - bruce gilden

Bruce Gilden has always had a fascination with what he calls characters .

So, for Bruce, New York, with its famous idiosyncratic citizenry and the unique energy of its streets, proved to be a giant creative playground.

Originally published in 1992 and long out of print, Facing New York has become a recognised photobook classic.

For this new edition Bruce has replaced two images, of which he says that he just can t understand why they didn t make his original selection.
