"New York in the 70s" is a personal collection of photographs documenting an exciting chapter in New York"s history - and a remarkable body of work produced by photographer Allan Tannenbaum while he was a photo editor of the "SoHo Weekly News in Manhattan". The photographs encompass many aspects of New York life while capturing the heady exuberance of the era - from SoHo and the art world to the city"s politics and society. By photographing everything from street gangs to disco divas, from homeless to Hollywood stars, Tannenbaum had assembled a personal diary of his journey as a photojournalist and raconteur through a strange and exotic era of New York life.
