"Born and raised in Brooklyn and now living in Manhattan, Jeff Rothstein is a quintessential New York photographer who has tirelessly chronicled the evolving city's life on the streets. To celebrate four decades of his work, a new book, Today's Special, has been published, featuring photos of people going about their lives -- some famous, most anonymous - as well as a cityscape of littered sidewalks and dilapidated buildings set against modern skyscrapers. Speaking of his work, Jeff says: "Wandering the streets with my 35mm cameras loaded with b&w film, I consider myself an urban observer. I try to capture the city's environment - structures, signs and, most of all, the fleeting moments of people on the streets that will soon disappear into thin air."--Creative Boom website.
