Shopping in Chinatown, NYC
Louis Kravitz
ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
A prime tourist destination, New York’s Chinatown allows us a glimpse into the Chinese American culture.
One of the more intriguing areas not typically found in the tourist guidebooks are the fruit, vegetable and fish stalls that run along Mott and Elizabeth Streets. Though these stalls are slowly disappearing, gradually being replaced by supermarkets, they are still bursting with vibrant activity.
Los Angeles photographer, Louis Kravitz has beautifully captured the hustle and bustle of this colorful neighborhood with his often discreet visual style.
Through these images one can witness people being themselves. We can almost smell the atmosphere and taste the flavors of this little corner of New York’s Chinatown that is off the beaten path.
All images are printed on 11x17 Canson Platine fiber rag paper and matted with 16x20 8 ply museum board.
Additional sizes available upon request.
ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER
I am a photographer living in Los Angeles, California. Prior to becoming a photographer, I worked for 45 years as an actuary.
I enjoy meeting people and my ability to connect with them enhances my photography. My projects are about people, often those with whom I have made a personal connection.
My images attempt to show our common humanity: the themes most people share as they move through their lives — the joys and fears of childhood, the love and pride of parents, the intensity of people working, playing, cooking, buying, selling and worshiping. And, sometimes, the courage they bring just to living.
