In celebration of Memorial Day, classic Lee Friedlander

New York City, 1985, is reproduced from Lee Friedlander: The People’s Pictures, published by Eakins Press Foundation. A photograph that reminds us what we have lost—in so many ways—it also asks us what and how we might remember. Technically, the book collects 147 duotone images, either of people taking pictures, or of pictures having been taken, now out in the world, looking back at us. This is a beautifully edited photobook by the ultimate photographer’s photographer. It imparts a feeling, an understanding, a sense of humor and sometimes a sense of darkness. Ultimately, it expresses the inimitable vision of one of America’s greatest living photographers, who has never stopped looking or seeing.
