The Man Who Shot New York (2019)
Overview
The life and work of American photographer Harold Feinstein, whose work garnered critical and commercial success. In his 2015 obituary the New York Times declared him âone of the most accomplished recorders of the American experience.â Howard Greenberg says Feinstein â occupies high ground in the pantheon of street photographyâ yet, most people, have never heard of him. A prodigious talent, Feinstein photographed life in all its forms, when and where he wished. Whether this was as a draftee in the Korean War, in a Bebop infused Manhattan loft or rural hippy enclave in upstate NY, Haroldâs 35mm black and white photographs captured the essence of life with a with a uniquely humanist eye. The re-discovery of Feinsteinâs vast and diverse body of work came in his final years and the film meets him then; in his early 80s and with a zen-like appreciation for the life he lived.
