The Other NYC Hamilton

I always love reading about New Yorkers who captured the city -- or people of and about the city -- in unique ways (hmmm wonder why?).

Anyway, one such person was a photographer named James Hamilton who worked for the Village Voice and other publications from the 1960s through the 2000s. He took pictures of the rich and famous as well as people on the streets (including the Tompkins Square riots in the late 1980s -- I remember that), always managing to capture his subjects' humanity.

Hamilton is the subject of a new Apple TV documentary, produced by Wes Anderson, called Uncropped that covers his life and career, and his unique views of NYC. I can't wait to see it!
