Introduced to me when I was still at the photo agency I ran for many years, Leland Bobbé had a virtually-unseen archive of classic shots from the heyday of CBGB’s. Going through his archives recently he came across another cache: long-forgotten photographs of Times Square and the Bowery in the 70s. We collaborated on this, Leland’s second aCurator feature (the first was the critically-acclaimed ‘Women of Fifth Avenue’), to present a good, graphic selection.
