{"product_id":"sights-in-the-city-new-york-photographs","title":"Sights in the City: New York Photographs","description":"During the summer of 1980, under the direction of his father, a photographer, Jamel  Shabazz armed himself with a Canon AE1 SLR camera and passionately photographed  the urban landscape that he called home. New York City-\"the city that never  sleeps\"-was the ideal epicenter to photograph because of its 24-hour subway system  and the many businesses that are open late into the night.  Never without a dull  moment, New York's energy inspired him to use the streets as a canvas for the majority  of his work for over 35 years. Photographing in the streets put Shabazz in the heart of  all of the action-he carried his camera everywhere, always set and at the ready. Like  a fisherman seeking a fruitful catch, Shabazz ventured into locations full of life and  uncertainty in hopes of capturing a unique moment.  More importantly, he sought to  gain insight into the conditions of the larger world and its inhabitants.  Sights in the City is a testament to Shabazz's visual journey, contianing 120 color and black-and-white  photographs, most of which have never been published. His images are both intimate  and provocative in nature, each having its own DNA.","brand":"Damiani Editore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42665636692004,"sku":"9788862085229","price":85.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9788862085229.jpg?v=1774923960","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/sights-in-the-city-new-york-photographs","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
