Full Description
For decades, husband-and-wife photography duo James and Karla
Murray have been on a mission to document and preserve on film
the various small shops of New York City—many of which are
quickly disappearing—and a culture of authenticity that is hanging
by just a thread. Featuring glorious new reproductions of images
from their past books as well as never-before published photos, this
elegiac volume will delight the Murrays' multitude of fans, as well
as anyone interested in the charm and history of small urban retail.
Large in format and filled with color and affectionate detail, the
book includes an introduction by the Murrays explaining the
genesis of their lifelong project and why they love to photograph
store fronts. Chapters are organized by each of the city's five
boroughs and include descriptions and maps. Most of the store
fronts are featured in generous single-page images with captions
listing location, neighborhood, and year the photo was taken. Filled
with diversity and character, these images honor destinations lost
to rising rents and changing demographics. Together they comprise
both a guidebook and a love letter to a city that never sleeps, and
is always evolving.
