Cool video. He's a really nice guy. I attended a lecture and slide show of his a few years ago. Spoke to him afterwards. Very friendly. While waiting on line before the lecture I noticed him with some people up on a roof patio. I took this candid shot of him with my Rolleiflex. Timing was interesting.

Great short. An interesting start with his photographic career, seeing an article about a gang war and deciding to go and immerse himself into it.

I wonder what kinda Leica setup he has. Looks like lots of his shots are with a 28mm? M2?

Very interesting. While I don't own a Leica (yet) i'd like to get one someday? Tnx for sharing the link.

I'd love to have one of his old beaters. Such a thing of beauty. Thanks for this.

A great little video, thanks for posting the link.

One thing it doesn't make clear, and especially as the images are mixed-n-matched, is that not all of those shown are 35mm. Some are made with a large format camera, particularly many of the East 100th Street posed portraits.
