International Center for Photography

This museum really offered an array of images that, in turn, resulted in an array of emotions.


On the first floor is "Signs of Life: Photographs by Peter Sekaer."  This collection really captured areas of America, including New York City, during the Great Depression.  The Danish documentary photographer ranged in images that made me laugh out loud to ones that broke my heart.




Also on the 1st floor was "Harper's Bazaar: A Decade of Style."  This exhibit captured a lot of photoshoots from recent years and the end result was really lovely.






The final exhibit, downstairs, was different from all the rest. "Remembering 9/11" providing heart wrenching images and descriptions of different NYC experiences after the attack on the Twin Towers.  I'm not one who cries easily, but I teared up as I looked at some of the photographs.







To visit the International Center for Photography, visit 1133 Avenue of the Americas at 43rd Street between 10 AM and 6 PM.  Tickets are $8 for students.  To visit online, go to http://www.icp.org/
