New York City's Meatpacking District is known today for glitz and
glamour, but it used to be famed for blood, muscle, and sweat. When
photographer Pamela Greene first visited this area, she found a
24-hour neighborhood that changed daily, from a gritty industrial
site to a sophisticated play ground, and back again, by dawn. She
photographed it all, capturing the electric energy of the streets,
and a nightly frenzy underground of strippers, singers, gays,
straights, and on occasion, prostitutes. In 120 raw images, Greene
gives us a portrait of change, an ode to urban transformation, and
an elegy for workers who have disappeared into New York City
history.
