Description

Over 51” of snow fell in New York City in the winter of 1967. The same year, Erich Hartmann joined the Magnum Photos Board of Directors, which he remained on until becoming president of the cooperative in 1985. While riding a city bus during one of the snowstorms in 1967, not for any particular assignment, Hartmann captured a girl looking out the window. Outside, figures trudged through the street in front of the Tishman Building at 666 5th Avenue. The photograph is featured in his book Where I Was (2000), a personal collection of enigmatic black-and-white images taken over the course of his illustrious career.
