Wow, talk about being alive at the right time
Lots of great photos there.

Would love to know the story of the guy playing bass on the hood of a car in that parking lot.
Nearby to Maxwell Street perhaps.?

What a collection..!!!

Thanks for the link. That's a book I've had my eye on since it was released. His most famous book is House of Bondage from 1967 that was re-issued by Aperture a couple of years ago.

There's a brief flip-through of the new book on Aperture's YouTube channel:



There's also a good discussion (with Cole's nephew and others) on Magnum's YouTube channel about Cole's backstory that provides some interesting information on how his lost USA archive was found:

Thanks for that. I didn't watch the Magnum video yet, but here is a previous article on Magnum's website from when they started to review his archive, about Cole's life and work. https://www.magnumphotos.com/arts-c...rediscovered-archive-apartheid-black-history/

Most of the photos in the Colossal article look like they are from New York.

If anyone is in the NYC area, this should definitely be worth checking out. Too bad I'm on the wrong coast...
