In 1999, Michael Berman photographed over 300 random people all over Manhattan. Now he is tracking down as many of them as he can find to re-photograph and talk to them. In many cases, he’s been able photograph them in the same spot. He plans to create a documentary and publish a book of the work.
He explains the project in this video, and you can check out more of the photos on Instagram.
By the way, Berman’s pictures of 80s & 90s New York are pretty great as well.
