Street style fills our feeds with endless snaps from photographers hitting the streets at fashion weeks and the like. . . . There's one name (besides Bill Cunningham) that takes us back to when it first began. Meet renowned jazz photographer Sepp Werkmeister, who first shot performances with icons such as Ella Fitzgerald and Miles Davis. In the midst of all that jazz, Werkmeister turned his camera to the streets of NYC capturing the people of Harlem, the East Village, and Times Square. -- (01/14/2016) Sepp Werkmeister spent the 1960s and '70s photographing jazz luminaries like Ella Fitzgerald and Miles Davis, which meant he spent an awful lot of time traipsing around New York. So he started taking photos between performances, too, capturing the streets of Harlem, the East Village, and Times Square, along with their inhabitants. Those cityscapes can be seen together for the first time in New York: Sepp Werkmeister. Covering 1965 to 1975, they show just how much New York can change in a decade. -- (01/14/2016)
