That Halloween I decided to take my camera out and capture the colorful stroll of kids taking part in the same holiday activity happening in every small town, suburb, and city in America. “In Harlem, children dress up as witches, fairies, and their favorite comic book heroes, but they don’t go door-to-door asking their neighbors for treats. Instead, they walk up and down Lexington and 2nd Avenue collecting candy from the many liquor marts, dollar stores, beauty shops, and bodegas. It is a ritual that is at once completely familiar and yet wholly unique to this culturally vital and rapidly gentrifying area of Manhattan. “Halloween in Harlem is an ongoing project largely inspired by the work of Helen Levitt.” –Amy Stein Amy Stein’s work explores man’s evolving isolation from community, culture, and the environment. Her photographs have been the subject of numerous national and international exhibitions, and are represented in the collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art; the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago; and the George Eastman House, Rochester, New York; among many others. Her first monograph, "Domesticated," was published by Photolucida in 2008. Her second monograph, "Tall Poppy Syndrome," with Stacy Arezou Mehrfar, was published by Decode Books in 2012.
