'That New York that existed in the late seventies, early eighties, it was raw, violent, trashy. It was everything, it is everything I like.'
. The book’s title is at once spiritual and literal; while packing for a move, Gilden discovered hundreds of film reels and negatives of his photographs taken between 1978 and 1984. Forty years later, he has shared around eighty of the previously unpublished photos, all taken throughout his beloved city. Though Gilden is known for his use of flash photography on the street, these photos—with the exception of three—are all taken without flash, embodying a grainy, humanistic softness.
Below, Gilden takes us on a free-wielding tour through his New York, each of his photos bursting with personality and the tales of lives long-lived. Gilden’s photos are a real look into the real New York, or, as he puts it,“The first picture, you know, these pictures are more about the heartbeat of the city rather than the later pictures, which are about the heartbeat of the individual. All I know is, I saw this picture, I said, ‘Wow, that’s pretty good.
But this picture was very interesting for me also because this is in Brighton Beach. And when I was shooting in Brighton Beach, I used to drive out from Soho to Brighton Beach on Saturday morning. I never thought I got much there because of the fact that it looked a little too folkloric for me. But after 40 years, you don’t feel the same. You know, the pictures have a life of their own. And this picture, I love the fierceness. I guess that’s his mother, how she’s looking at me.
