Following a series of portraits of his compatriots made in the early 1970s, the author, for a very short and intense period of time, naturally turned to focusing on peoples particulars and individual body languages as affirmations or embodiments of their selves.

Documents author's life in New York City's East Village during its heyday in the tumultuous 1980s.

A mix of spot news and street photography, this book features black-and-white images that capture crime scenes as well as everyday life.
