New York is one of the most ever-changing and photogenic places in the world. For street photographers, New York has always been a city of unparalleled visual excitement, teeming with diverse people and distinctive neighbourhoods. Differing from other photo books about New York, New York Over The Top introduces a gallery of eye-catching, untamed images of the metropolis taken by Max Kozloff. The photographer walks down the streets of New York and offers to the viewer his peculiar vision of a colourful, multi-ethnic and multi-faceted city. A series of funny pictures, who can surprise us and drive the viewer in a curious path, capturing the rhythms and moods of the greatest city in the world. This compelling reportage is a valuable document about different people, situations, days and lives in the same amazing place.
