Paul McDonough, New York City 1968-1972 is the current exhibit at Sasha Wolf's gallery. Wolf, as curator, worked closely with the artist for over a year putting together a collage of street photography from the time. McDonough, a current Brooklynite, says when he arrived here in the late '60s, photographing "satisfied my sketching impulses...I learned to carry a camera everywhere, all the time, loaded with 400-speed film."
We highly recommend getting up close and personal with the images, which the artist says captures the "improv theater" feel the city streets had at the time. For current street photography there are thousands of glimpses of New Yorkers on Flickr, growing in numbers daily. And for a different type of street art, check out the opening of Graffiti Research Lab's show tonight (details here and here).
The Sasha Wolf Gallery is located at 10 Leonard Street, and opened Tuesday through Saturday, 11am to 6pm.

nice work – both by the photographer profiled mentioned as well as the others who are on the gallery's site. i think i'll try to head down there soon.
New York definitely looked the best in the Sixties.
I caught the opening of this show and was really impressed with how well it was curated and also with the gorgeous space. It's earthier and more welcoming than most galleries. Yummy all-around.
Grab the Paul McDonough show at the SASHA WOLF GALLERY in Tribeca,
This is as rich and mysterious a collection of documentary street photography, your likely to see in a long time.
He has a completely unique way of looking at his world.
The gallery itself, is a jewel box of a space. Perfect for photography.
Highly recommended..
