[Leica] Harlem - Was Scantily Clad Women

[mattmorgan1 at mac.com (Matt Morgan)]

Thanks Chris.

I've always found it interesting how close Harlem is in Manhattan, yet 
to most below 110th St, its a world apart. But I've found that in many 
big cities around the world, and many of us are not fully aware of 
areas that are in fact on our doorstep. It's that old thing that many 
find it takes going to someone else's city, to actually 'see'.

Some parts of Harlem, especially 125th Street, have changed since 
Clinton moved in. When I used to wander around the streets 10-12 years 
ago, there was some seriously bad places. Whole blocks of burnt out 
buildings with gangs on corners etc. It's a place with a lot of gritty 
character, but in some areas, perhaps not the place you want to be 
pointing a camera at people. I stood out as the only white person 
anyway, so it was difficult even trying to sneak a shot.

Anyway, you're spoilt for choice in NYC - it's character makes it one 
of the most stimulating photogenic cities.

Now if only I could get a few shots inside Flashdance in Times Square!

Matt.
