Photographs by Erik Petersen - 'Politiken' is Denmark's leading daily quality newspaper, and the photographs displayed here show life in Copenhagen during the war and early post-war years. They were taken by Erik Petersen, who worked for the paper from 1939 to 1994, and came to light when 700 rolls of his film were found following his death in 1999. A selection of these images (117, to be exact) were published as a book on 4th May this year to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Denmark. The form at the bottom of each page asks people who view the pictures to try to identify the people and places in them. A remarkable archive of the work of an extremely talented photographer.

It is hoped that a new photo essay will be posted on the site daily..'

"HERE IS NEW YORK is not a conventional gallery show. It is something new, a show tailored to the nature of the event, and to the response it has elicited. The exhibition is subtitled "A Democracy of Photographs" because anyone and everyone who has taken pictures relating to the tragedy is invited to bring or ftp their images to the gallery, where they will be digitally scanned, archivally printed and displayed on the walls alongside the work of top photojournalists and other professional photographers. All of the prints which HERE IS NEW YORK displays will be sold to the public for $25, regardless of their provenance. The net proceeds will go to the Children's Aid Society WTC Relief Fund, for the benefit of the thousands of children who are among the greatest victims of this catastrophe."

Be aware that many of these pictures depict harrowing scenes.
