Since the inception of the camera, Times photographers have captured every newsworthy event--and many of the most iconic and intimate moments--that together document the very spirit and essence of New York City.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese 500 photos are selected and paired in clever, humorous, and poignant diptychs that bring the city to life as you could only see in NYC--from Broadway to Yankee Stadium, nightlife to street life, skyscrapers to subways.

They take liberties. They don’t listen to reason. You send them to shoot a City Council news conference in Woodside, Queens, and they come back with three teenagers on a crumbly stoop, drinking Cokes out of long-necked bottles, or a plastic bag stranded in a tree. Who asked for that?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Yet that’s New York, isn’t it? It’s the stuff you’re too busy to notice, or you can’t get to because you can’t be everywhere. It’s what idle hands do when they happen to belong to Pulitzer Prize-winning photographers and there’s a camera on them and nothing else to do. Did you see the reflection of that neon sign in the flooded pothole? Click. Click click click.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If you licked these pictures they would taste like New York. Which is why you don’t lick them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Five hundred of these photos… are gathered in a new book called “Only in New York,” published by Rizzoli. They cover more than a century in the city, in sickness and in health. Mostly, they’re glimpses of the ordinary in a city that is anything but. Sometimes the moment is more than that.\"\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e — \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Lens Blog\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e\"\u003cb\u003eOnly in New York\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e is a wonderful, quirky, poignant, funny and often profound look at New York City. The individual photographs are, of course, wonderful. After all, these are the photographers for \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e. The differences between photojournalism, street photography, and fine art are irrelevant here. Every image in the book is a solid piece of work on its own. Imagine the New York City Ballet performing \u003ci\u003eThe Nutcracker\u003c\/i\u003e at Lincoln Center. Imagine the Naked Cowboy, children inside the crown of the Statue of Liberty, Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra and Casey Stengel at Shea Stadium. Imagine King Kong. Whatever you have imagined, these photos will surprise you. Every one of them catches a moment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But this book is more than that. It is intentionally a series of diptychs. That’s the thesis here: every photograph has a partner. And in these pairings there is an act of genius. In these pairings, in the distance between them or in ability to hold both images simultaneously in mind, in the contrasts or ironies or contradictions or confirmations, there is a truth about New York.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eOnly in New York\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e is a history lesson, a sociological examination, an architectural appreciation, a tribute to sports stars and celebrities and ordinary people. At times it’s damn funny. At other times it’s heart wrenching. Its real power, though, is in what you feel when holding two things together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In other words, \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eOnly in New York\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e is a love story.\" — LensCulture","brand":"Rizzoli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51038128996695,"sku":"9780789336552","price":25.46,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780789336552.jpg?v=1750939169","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/only-in-new-york-photography-from-the-new-york-times-9780789336552","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
