Rocky Nook The Grey Ghost: New York City Photographs

The Grey Ghost: New York City Photographs from Rocky Nook showcases 100 black-and-white images by photographer Dan Winters. Starting in 1987 at the age of 25 when Winters moves to New York City from California, the book reveals an artist finding his voice and discovering "that elusive method that informs the manner in which we perceive and interpret our surroundings." The photographs feature New York City icons such as the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building, as well as everyday moments captured on the street, yet in this highly personal collection we find Winters presenting us with the seemingly ordinary and commonplace in a way that captivates us and makes us look much more closely. Sharing his personal journey Winters writes of New York, it "has acted as a proving ground and a rite of passage for countless photographers." For those interested in street photography, New York City, black-and-white imagery, or the earlier work of one of today's most compelling photographers, The Grey Ghost is a beautiful addition to any photo book collection.
