Photo-Essay: On Fifth Avenue
By Matthew Bialer
“on Fifth Ave below which I also bear in mind,
its ant cars, little yellow taxis, men
walking the size of specks of wool—” (“My Sad Self”, Allen Gingsberg)

With Bialer’s photographs, slice after slice after slice of life is sandwiched in the river flow of Fifth Avenue, and we’re looking into the current, at vignettes of people, into a drop of street water, under a microscope. A quiet eureka is always waiting there for me. It’s wonderful!
Thank You Matt et al !!! Our pleasure – Bill
