	New England - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The name New England dates to the earliest days of European settlement: in 1616 Captain John Smith described the area in a pamphlet "New England." The name was officially sanctioned in 1620 by the grant of King James I to the Plymouth Council for New England.
		The confederation was designed largely to coordinate mutual defense against the Dutch in the New Netherland colony to the south and the French in New France to the north, as well as to enforce the return of runaway slaves.
		New England is also the setting for most of the gothic horror stories of H.P. Lovecraft, mostly because he lived his life in Providence, Rhode Island.

	New Georgia Encyclopedia: CNN
		In a television news universe dominated by the "big three" networks (CBS, NBC, and ABC), many wondered if there was room for such a shoestring operation, particularly one that planned to fill an enormous amount of airtime on a budget that was a fraction of what the networks spent.
		Part of the concept of CNN was that the news, not the anchor, would be the star.
		The network's early format, drawn in part from that of all-news radio, was centered on a news "wheel." Major stories were repeated on a cyclical basis throughout the day, sometimes with minor modifications.

		It is a must for anyone interested in photography, in New York City, in urban history and urban magic, in the career of a woman artist.
		Abbott's important oevre is divided into three parts: her portraits of literary and artistic personalities in Europe and America, her photographs of the buildings of New York, and her photographs of scientific phenomenon, made in collaboration with a group of scientists at M.I.T. in the sixties.
		Changing New York is the title of Abbott's definitive photographic study which she did from 1935 to 1939 with support fromthe Works Progress Administration's Federal Art Project.

	Berenice Abbott's Changing New York
		NEW YORK CITY -- In January 1929, after spending eight years in Europe, the young photographer Berenice Abbott returned to the United States and was seized by a "fantastic passion" to photograph New York City, a passion she pursued against great odds for the next ten years.
		The resulting "Changing New York" project, funded by the Federal Art project of the WPA and sponsored by the museum, contained 305 photographs that were subsequently given to the museum.
		A careful new study of these materials resulted in the book Berenice Abbott: Changing New York, the Complete WPA Project, written by Bonnie Yochelson and published in November 1997 by the museum and The New Press.

	Changing New York
		"To photograph New York City," I stated more fully in the plan, "means to seek to catch in the sensitive photographic emulsion the spirit of the metropolis, while remaining true to its essential fact, its hurrying tempo, its congested streets, the past jostling the present.
		The years went on, and the fantastic passion for New York continued to obsess me. As far as time and finances permitted, I photographed the city on my own, building up the "chronicle in photographs" which I was always hoping could be carried out on a larger and more complete scale.
		Previously my New York photographs had been exhibited at the opening of the Museum's new building in 1932, several times at the Julien Levy Gallery and in Paris, San Francisco, Boston, Hartford, Springfield, etc., where the response was enthusiastic.

	H-Net Review: Wendell E. Pritchett on Berenice Abbott: Changing New York
		New York's artists, having lost the support of their Wall Street patrons, were scrambling to survive, not thinking of grandiose new ventures.
		Abbott produced a voluminous body of work on 1930s New York, but there are several major omissions, and these exclusions compromise her goal of presenting a social portrait of the city.
		New York is known for being a large city with small neighborhoods--Chinatown and Little Italy are only two of the more famous examples--but the Abbott's pictures do not reveal the vibrant social life of the city.

	Changing New York City (Gotham Gazette. June, 2002)
		New York City has always been much different from the rest of the state and the nation.
		In 1980 about 24 percent of New Yorkers were foreign born (this category does not include Puerto Ricans or those born in other US territories that are not part of the 50 states and the District of Columbia).
		According to these new census results, the proportion of homeowners (about 400,000 of the roughly 3 million households in New York City) who pay more than 35 percent of their income for housing costs soared from about one fifth to well over one quarter during the 1990s.

		The Museum of the City of New York was founded in 1923 and modeled on the Musée Carnavalet in Paris.
		A lack of funds in the midst of the Depression while the museum was about to complete its new building at Fifth Avenue prevented Scholle from financially supporting her idea of documenting the transformation of the city's landmarks which were about to disappear.
		Changing New York presented 111 photographs, half the number then in her files.

	Conscientious: Review: New York Changing by Douglas Levere (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		New York City became the target of Islamic fundamentalists, and for ultra-conservative Americans, it has also become the symbol of everything that (supposedly) is wrong with the country.
		About sixty years later, Douglas Levere went out to re-record New York City, finding the spots that Berenice Abbott had taken photos at, using the same equipment, and trying to get as close as possible to achieving the same look-and-feel of the photos as possible.
		New York City is changing, and it is not changing from a better to worse or from a worse to better but simply from one stage to the next, to a different one.

	what are we reading?
		The titling of Berenice Abbott's classic 1939 book Changing New York almost screams for what Levere accomplished sixty years later, a rephotographed update that documents the changing fabric of Manhattan and the other boroughs.
		Spending his free time from 1997-2002 documenting this change, Levere's 81 photographs (about 25% of Abbott's orginal) come at a time when urban change is more rapid and accepted.
		In the second case, small buildings, storefronts, and other unexceptional architecture exhibits the most change, being susceptible to the wrecking ball and changing tastes and trends.

		Washington, D.C. Changing New York is photographer Berenice Abbott’s extraordinary documentation of New York from 1935 to 1939, when the city lost its 19th-century trappings to skyscrapers that would transform the skyline.
		Abbott (1898-1991) arrived in New York as an aspiring sculptor from her native Ohio in 1918, then joined the expatriate exodus of artists to Paris in 1921.
		She concentrated not only on new skyscrapers and mass transit but also on subjects that were disappearing because of these changes.

		In this new supplementary edition, Levere has sought out the exact positions --- along with the month of the original and even the time of day --- of eighty or so of Abbott's fl-and-white photographs.
		He then duplicates, as best he is able, the original street scene --- showing changes that had come about in the intervening years to that street or neighborhood.

		The result was the landmark publication Changing New York, a milestone in the history of photography that stands as an indispensable record of the Depression-era city.
		More than sixty years later, New York is an even denser city of steel-and-glass and restless energy.
		Guided by Abbott's voice and vision, New York photographer Douglas Levere has revisited the sites of 100 of Abbott's photographs, meticulously duplicating her compositions with exacting detail; each shot is taken at the same time of day, at the same time of year, and with the same type of camera.

		Instead, she was transfixed by the changes in the New York City scene, and became obsessed by the opportunity to capture it photographically.
		During the depths of the Depression, she was able to obtain a grant from the WPA to work with the Museum of the City of New York to create an exhaustive photographic essay of the city.

		Elsewhere, the change is simply increased density, the occasional glimpses of the river and sky through the forest of skyscrapers springing up in the 30s are now eradicated by a solid thicket of steel, glass and stone.
		On the weekend that one of New York's greatest sons, Arthur Mlller, died, it seems apposite to recall Willy Loman's words in Death of a Salesman: "I'm still feeling kind of temporary about myself".
		Change is the only permanence, nowhere more so than New York.

		For over a century, New York City has been the proving ground for anyone who wants to distinguish themselves in their given field.
		The physical layout of New York's famous skyline has been offered as a metaphor for both American culture in general and for jazz specifically by the eminent cultural critic John Kouwenhoven.
		It was he who in 1928 had come up with the new dance filled with improvised "breakaways" — flinging his partner out and improvising solo steps before bringing her back again — which came to be called the lindy hop after the hero of the hour, Charles Lindbergh.

	cheesedip.com: new york changing
		City of Sound has an exquisite review up of New York Changing: Revisiting Berenice Abbott's New York, in which Abbott's classic photos of New York in the 1930s are "juxtaposed with 'rephotographs' of the same subjects taken from exactly the same position 60 years later by Douglas Levere." Here's my favorite part:
		Importantly, whilst the presentation of these photographs side by side can seem to depict a loss, the danger of nostalgia never far away, Abbott's and Levere's work are both dignified attempts to simply record the city, to freeze it at a moment in in their own time.
		New York never fails to surprise me, I fall more and more in love with it most every day.
