A selection of the photographer's heartbreakingly beautiful street photography, which showcases both the empathy and subtlety of his work. Some of them appear in published form for the very first time. "A photographer in the American street photography that developed in the aftermath of World War II and championed by the likes of Garry Winogrand, Robert Frank, and Leon Levinstein. He has spent the last half century as an unassuming and furtive presence on the streets of Chicago, more or less purloining for his own pleasure an array of intimate emotions, snatched from his subjects in the blink of the camera's eye. Gritty, unvarnished, and humorous, his photographs are both meditations on the human condition and affectionate renderings of the people and streets of his great city" (Publisher's blurb).
