 picture book Jul 21, 2010
I was disappointed in this photo album. Displayed a bunch of pictures and then in the back it discussed the picture. Obviously, this is a part of New York that should stay invisible.
 Photographic Exploration of New York City Infrastructure Dec 24, 2009
A photographic exploration of New York City's infrastructure: Bridges, tunnels, power plants, docks, bridges, and waterworks. Many places featured in the book are inaccessible to the public in our post-9/11 world, and the author went through great lengths in some cases to secure permission to photograph them. Of interest to engineering and architecture fans.
There are explanations and brief histories of these places, some of which are elaborate monuments. The comparison to more modern, utilitarian structures leaves you with a sense that "they don't make them like they used to."

 Good coffee table book; browse before you buy Feb 20, 2008
Great coffee table book of little-seen aspects of NYC. One warning I'd mention is that not all of the pictures are of things underground/unseen. Some are simply of neglected/abandonded/decaying above ground sites (not exactly what I'd expected but it's still a good collection). Perhaps it would be best to peruse this book at your local bookseller before making a decision on the purchase.

Siimply, Wow! Jun 25, 2006
Invisible New York is one of the three or four most treasured books in my library. Greenberg's black and white photography is beautiful and lush. To me, the book's one shortcoming is that it's not longer! Greenberg has a sharp eye for reading and presenting spaces. A treat for all of us who wonder what lives down there under the manhole cover or over there behind that fence.

A Photographic Elegy To New York City's Technological Past Mar 30, 2002
"Invisible New York" is a splendid collection of photographs which pay tribute to New York City's technological past. Stanley Greenberg's large format camera yields dignified, poetic images of long-forgotten historic structures throughout the city. These range from beautiful pictures of bridge supports and hidden passageways to a deserted building at Brooklyn's Floyd Bennett Field, once the city's primary airport. Although others have found New York City's architecture to be a rich source of photographic imagery, few have been as tenacious as Stanley Greenberg in creating stunningly beautiful visual poetry. I must commend Johns Hopkins University Press for publishing this beautiful tome of black and white photographs and keeping it in print. I eagerly look forward to seeing Greenberg's next book, which I think may be on a recent project documenting New York City's water supply system. He is surely one of the most distinguished photographers ever to have graduated from New York City's prestigious Stuyvesant High School.
