Outer Boroughs finds beauty in rarely photographed outer-borough
neighborhoods in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens and Staten Island.
Through compelling streetscapes and cityscapes, evocative pictures
of structures, objects, interiors, group shots and candid portraits
of individuals taken between 1990 and 2009, William Meyers (born
1938) pays tribute to the outer boroughs and fills a void in the
photographic tradition of the changing city. Historical photographs
of New York City are almost exclusively of the landmarks, buildings
and streets of Manhattan, and the best-known New York street
photographers--figures such as Berenice Abbott, Weegee and Helen
Levitt--tended to work solely in Manhattan. But Meyers' photography
explores the unsung pockets of the outer boroughs where most of the
city's inhabitants live and work, the overlooked and underexplored
spaces of the city.
