Broken Glass: Photographs of the South Bronx

by Allison Lichter

NEW YORK, NY November 21, 2008 —In the early 80s, Ray Mortenson photographed the empty buildings that dominated landscape of the South Bronx. The images showed the social and economic devastation of the period. These photos are now on display at the Museum of the City of New York in a show called "Broken Glass." WNYC asked Mortenson to tell us about his experience creating this body of work.
