Produktbeschreibung

I was not a young man when I started photographing New York City. I started photographing NYC around 1974. I was 32 years old. I got the idea of making scenes of New York City and selling my pictures in the city streets after the invention of resin coated printing paper. With this paper I could make a print and then simply hang it up on clothes pins to dry and put my print in ready-made mat boards with the inset already cut out. I had a plan. I had a job as a messenger delivering packages all around New York. This gave me the means to go around the city looking for interesting subjects to photograph while I was delivering packages. I figured a time would come, once I had taken a certain amount of photos, when I would feel good about leaving my messenger job.

Duncan produced a book of his art called New York, New York: Masterworks of a Street Peddler. George's trademark is his black-and-white photography, which has been shown in some of the most prestigious galleries and museums in the world such as The New York Public Library in NYC on 5th Avenue, the Grenoble and Orange Museums of France, and the Brooklyn Museum and Park Slope Gallery in Brooklyn. He has been featured in major publications and has been the subject of two documentaries. Since 2007, George has been busy self-publishing books that are of his personal vein and three photography books, one that is a tribute to his mother, Norma Forss. Norma Forss' portraits in B&W, taken with a classic Box Camera, are her would-be claim to fame. George gets good Kirkus Reviews of his writings. George Forss is becoming a renowned writer even if he has to 'Forss' the world to acknowledge him. There is something very special about the way that he writes... in a natural/spiritual way... as he is apt to explain.
