Leon Levinstein: Images

Above is a clip of Leon Levinstein's work. His photographs do not sentimentalise, but rather they document what it was like to live in New York at the time. He sees everything and captures everything while portraying a mixture of emotions such as amusement, sadness, compassion and sympathy. "I walk, I look, I see, I stop, I photograph." (Levinstein, 1955).
