"At once photojournalist, portraitist, urban archivist and fashion photographer, Jamel Shabazz is a man in love with his city and his camera is his tool to freeze decisive moments in his surroundings.” - Marla Hamburg Kennedy, "Jamel Shabazz: Sights in the City” During the summer of 1980, under the direction of his photographer father, Jamel Shabazz armed himself with a Canon AE1 SLR camera and began to photograph the landscape of his native New York City. Photographing in the streets put Shabazz right in the heart of all of the action; he carried his camera everywhere he went, from Harlem to Times Square, the Lower East Side to downtown Brooklyn, always set and at the ready. This #blackhistory staff favorite brings the streets of 1980s and 90s NYC back to life: Times Square before the “clean up," old-school 80s police vans, Flatbush boys with their boom boxes, Washington Square Park break dancers, prostitutes, pimps, block parties and the World Trade Center towers lit up at night. @jamelshabazz @damiani_books @marlahamburgkennedy #sightsinthecity #jamelshabazz #80sfashion #80snyc #streetstyle #streetphotography
