Uncropped

Alfred Hitchcock. Muhammad Ali. Meryl Streep. LL Cool J. From cultural icons to powerful news stories, James Hamilton captured it all. In Uncropped, the legendary Village Voice photojournalist and many of his notable collaborators recount the stories behind unforgettable images taken over the course of a forty year career. A stunning visual chronicle of New York City and a window into the heyday of alternative print media.

“Breathtaking images… what makes UNCROPPED so great — and so memorable — is the way a chronicle of New York City’s art and media scenes from the 1960s forward emerges.”

The New York Times
