“Sometimes just the facts of the matter make it interesting.” ~ Lee Friedlander Lee Friedlander had a special gift for photographing the social landscape. He made everyday people and places interesting, his images filled with mystery and curiosity. New York City (Shadow) is a perfect example of Friedlander experimenting with interjecting himself into the composition, becoming more than the observer. This image is much more than a documentation of what Friedlander saw, this picture is Friedlander. It is composed of his experience in that moment, he is not removed from the picture he is physically a part of it.
