Alex Harsley – East Village photographer from James Matthews on Vimeo.

I saw this over at the Gage & Desoto blog and found it incredibly interesting. I look forward to meeting people like this, people who have such history, and such stories that you can’t help but listen.

Alex Harsley has been a photographer in New York city since before I was born, and through his photographs and stories we are given an interesting perspective on what it was like living in the city through all those years. He has done wonders for minority artists and creative minds alike. Give the video a watch, and if it’s up your alley you can watch another very interesting piece on Mr. Harsely here.
