Honestly, before I finally made it there I was magnetized by descriptions of a New York rife with artists living bohemian lives. But the New York I had read about or seen in movies didn’t really exist when I got there. Some of it was still intact, but mostly it had changed considerably from those descriptions. You will see the raw grit found in those books and movies in Freedman’s work, such as the newly reissued book “Street Cops” (Setanta Books, 2021), a true classic of documentary photography.
