Black-and-white images shot by American street and documentary photographer Jill Freedman (1939-2019) over the course of two years spent on patrol in Manhattan with members of the NYPD. Plates presented with prose texts by Freedman opposite, capturing the circumstances, language, and/or pathos of each image. An intimate, humane, and frequently brutal collection.
