"New York Street Diaries" is an impressive illustrated book for all fans of the Big Apple. In it, Phil Penman shows the big city on the east coast of the USA from a side that is rarely seen, namely calm and tranquil. The pictures were taken partly during the great snowstorm and partly during the Corona Lockdown and are thus contemporary witnesses of the pandemic restrictions that completely turned our hitherto known world upside down.
Born in Great Britain, he has been photographing the streets of New York for well over two decades. He is known, among other things, for his photographs of famous personalities such as Michael Jackson, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez or Bill Gates. When the biggest tragedy in New York's history shook the city on 11 September 2001, Phil Penman was on the spot and created unique time recordings of the events with his camera.
