A girl in her summer clothes. Central Park, Upper East Side. Paul Goldfinger photo August 2014. Click to enlarge and see her tug on her dress. Was she primping for the photographer? Is she with the others, and what does the little smile mean? Ask Paul McCartney—he wrote the song and included the piccolo.

There beneath the blue suburban skies
Penny Lane.”

But you’re the one who wanted it that way my love

Conversations: Park Avenue at 96th Street
Posted in Photography: New York City Street Series, tagged Conversations in NYC on October 5, 2024| 1 Comment »
“Conversations.” c. 1970. NYC Street Series. By Paul Goldfinger, MD. (published in the Morristown, NJ Daily Record). The little boy is Stephen Goldfinger, number one son. He just walked over and began a conversation with the man on the milk crate. Click to enlarge.
The Daily Record included this image in their “Visions” series of “exceptional black and white prints by readers and staff photographers.”
This is the accompanying essay by me which was printed with this photograph.
“It is often said that the people of New York are cold and indifferent to one another. In fact, New York consists of many neighborhoods in which a great deal of person-to-person caring and communication occurs.
“This photograph which I call ‘Conversations‘ was taken outside a grocery on Park Avenue near 96th Street. It is one of my favorites because it shows people spontaneously relating to one another, despite age, racial, gender and socio-economic differences. ”
