New York 62/63
Gerry Johansson
“After finishing high school in June 1962, I traveled to the United States to live for a year with my relatives in New Jersey, about an hour west of New York.
A friend, who worked on the Swedish American Line, transported my enlarger over to New York so I could set one up a simple darkroom. Quite often I took the bus to New York and walked around and photographed street life and went to museums and attended The Village Camera Club meetings.
When I returned home after the year in America, the negatives were lying around for 30 years before I looked at them and started printing them. It was a somewhat strange feeling. Like printing another photographer's work.
Now another 30 years have passed before this little book is published. Everything feels, even more distant and the pictures look rather like they were made in the fifties. I simply have no memory of this being what New York looked like when I was there.” - Gerry Johansson
