I was just searching around for street photography when I came across this photographer called 'Jack Garofalo' who was one of the leading photographers for Paris Match magazine. He spent six weeks in Harlem, New York, in the summer of 1970 and his images were the cover story of Match in October that year. In the 1960s, large numbers of residents left Harlem for neighborhoods in Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx, seeking better schools, improved housing and a stronger sense of safety. Left in Harlem were the people who couldn't afford to or chose not to move. I really like these photo's because they're quite old looking and you can see he captured them right in the moment.
