Atmospheric snapshots of old New York found in flea markets

New York - the atmosphere and spirit of this city is so strong and amazing that you can feel them even just by looking at the photos. And rest assured, the Big Apple has always been like that! No matter what times its inhabitants experience, sparkling and festive or devastated and dangerous - New York remains an inexplicable magnet. Perhaps this is why photographer Ray Simons, with such religious fanaticism, has been collecting photographs of the city that he found in flea markets at different times all his life. Now we can enjoy its invaluable archive.
