His gentle views of street life, generally in the poorer parts of town, use color effectively, the emphasis being very much on the use of color than on the selection of dramatic moments.

If, like me, you believe that most street monochrome work is a cop out, the photographer being incapable of controlling color, then this book is for you. Others working in a similar style during this period include Helen Levitt and Saul Leiter.
