Bud Glick: Chinatown | LENSCRATCH

1980′s New York City was a stew of music, drugs, and excess bumping up against populations of hard working immigrants just trying to provide for their families. Photographer Bud Glick was there with his camera, but his focus turned away from disco nights and onto the streets of New York’s Chinatown. For three years, he captured  Chinese residents and their workplaces revealing a very different reality in the same metropolis. Bud has continued to revisit and make work about NYC’s Chinatown for 30 years and is a supporter of the Museum of the Chinese in America.
