NYC Subway 1981 Series By Christopher Morris

These photos were taken by photographer Christopher Morris in his series “NYC Subway 1981” showing the gritty nostalgia of the New York City subways in the 1980’s.

In these previously unpublished photographs from 1981, recently rediscovered decades later, Christopher Morris embedded himself into the heart of New York City’s underworld—the subway system. With ektachrome film and a magenta filter, Morris captured the mix of grime, decay and erratic movement that epitomize a moment in New York’s history memorialized in popular culture as a dark, dire metropolis. With New York’s subterranean transportation as his backdrop, Morris contrasts rebellious graffiti with blase attitudes and counter-culture performances with seas of expressionless commuters to show rare moments of intimacy amid a gritty, hard-edged urban metropolis.

These are photos from Chino Otsuka from her series “Imagine Finding Me” they are of Chino as a little girl and her as an adult in the same picture like the one above.

“Otsuka explains of the both the nostalgic and unfamiliar territory probed within the set. the portraits taken of the artist as a youngster — shyly posing in front of her family home, and whimsically enjoying a baguette on a trip to paris — united with the mature and developed woman she presently is, invite the viewer to imagine what might have been, and provoke a poignant awareness of the brevity of time.” – Via Design Boom
