Photos of New York City’s Most Dangerous Neighborhood
“Bandit’s Roost,” pictured above, was once considered the most dangerous part in all of New York City.
Jacob A. Riis was a police reporter in 1877 and decided to document the people living in New York’s East Side slum district. His book, How the Other Half Lives: Studies Among the Tenements of New York, was the result of these photographs and was published in 1890.
Head over to Petapixel for more incredible photographs and info on Riis.

Chicago Architecture: Chicago IL by Alex Fradkin

Last year my first book was published “The Left Coast: California on the Edge”, University of California Press, a five year project photographing the diverse California Coast and its people in collaboration with my best friend, my Dad. A dream come true! Next year my Second book will be published by Radius Books, “Bunkers: Ruins of War in a New American Landscape”. Another dream coming true. Two more books coming after that…I love to imagine, and then make it happen!Currently I am teaching architectural and portraiture photography at the International Center for Photography. I am passionate about sharing my passion with others, to help inspire and be inspired by my students – I love them too!
