“Stanley took thousands of images for Look Magazine between 1945 and 1950,” Phil Grosz, from SK Film Archives, told me. “He sold the first image at age sixteen.” The Museum of the City of New York writes, “Many of the shots are candid portraits of people seemingly unaware of any camera, perhaps indicating the use of some sort of spy or buttonhole camera.”
I don’t think there is anywhere else in the world that exposes you to so many cultures and different walks of life in one sitting than a New York Subway train.

“It all happened so fast.”
That’s what R. Umar Abbasi, a freelance photographer for The New York Post, said of the fatal subway incident on Monday that he caught with his camera. One man threw another into harm’s way, causing him to be run over by an oncoming train. This last part happened in the blink of a shutter.
Since Sandy left town, we’ve been downloading MTA subway-recovery maps to feed WNYC’s Changing Trains map. Our Steve Melendez put them together in a time-lapse GIF. Click through to the full-size image.
We’ve seen it in countless movies, but the reality is grittier and more miserable than any overblown disaster flick. Sludge everywhere, small hills of dead rats, stairs that descend into tunnels full of filthy water… New York City flooded after Sandy is a dreadful place. This huge collection of images is heartbreaking.
