Mosque 1989
I remember when this rather large mosque was being built and wonder how the upper east side would have reacted if this was after 9/11….Would it exist or would the outcry have been enough to make them build it elsewhere?

see some pictures of Harlem when it was still Harlem.You can leave comments if you feel so inclined. Most images can be purchased as signed ptints for your collection. "The Urban Prisoner" (Shown on the left) is my first monograph, published in 2004 by Sanctuary Books. Introduction by Ben Lifson. There are still some copies available for purchase. Please inquire about licensing my images for documentary use. Blu-Ray quality files (or 4K) are available for any project you may be working on…Thanks!

“The Collision” 2011
