The Apartment of Photographer James Bleecker

Do those photographs look familiar? If so, that's because they're shot by famed photographer James Bleecker, who's known for capturing bold images of New York and for being his own best customer (not that we blame him). We found these pictures in  NYSD's House archives, which also includes an insightful interview. Highlights include Bleecker's Oyster Bay, LI, upbringing, his affinity for 'lonely empty places' (e.g., the High Line pre-"High Line"), and his relative anonymity while at RISD.

Via NYSD House. More pictures after the jump.
