Photonotes new york police Léonard freed (French Edition)

This edition of the photographs of Leonard Freed leads the viewer on the New York City policeman's beat, showing the pulsating chaos of emergency rooms, jails, murder scenes, and life on the street. The photos include powerful views of human beings struggling in the midst of crime, injury, street fighting, and drug-induced chaos--scenes of desperation mixed with occasional glimpses of humor. Juxtaposed with the human suffering is the detached, patient presence of the New York police. The result is a vivid depiction of the tattered threads of society unraveling.
