These fascinating black and white photos were taken by John Jackson that show street scenes of New York in August 1979.
“In 1979, I vacationed in New York. These photos were taken with my Leica M3, with 50mm Summicron f2 collapsible. I copied these negatives with my Fuji X-T1, using my 18-55 with MCEX 16 extension tube, on a jig I built myself.”
