More than 100 photographers were set out on the streets of New York as part of a six month project to document the changes the city has gone through over the past decade.
The photographs were collected into an exhibit on view for the next few weeks in New York.
"In fact, it took nearly 100 photographers, six months, and more than 4,500 images to get a grip on the five boroughs. This visual inventory was amassed by volunteer architects and designers dubbed the New New York Photography Corps, who canvassed every corner of the city (including Staten Island's Fresh Kills, pictured on front page) in an homage to Berenice Abbott's Changing New York photo essay of the 1930s. Their group portrait, pared to 1,000 photographs, is on view through June 26 as the centerpiece of the League's exhibition, The City We Imagined/The City We Made: New New York 2001–2010, installed in a pop-up space at 250 Hudson Street."
