EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the vibrant essence of a bygone era in the heart of America's bustling metropolis. In this print, photographer Kenneth Green transports us back to a chilly winter evening in the early 1970s, where neon lights illuminate the cityscape with their mesmerizing glow. The focal point of this snapshot is an enormous billboard dominating Times Square, proudly displaying an advertisement for Kent cigarettes. The iconic illuminated sign stands tall against the backdrop of towering buildings, symbolizing both consumerism and urban life during that time. It serves as a reminder of how advertising played a significant role in shaping American culture. As we delve deeper into the image, we are immersed in a lively street scene. A yellow taxi zooms past on Duffy Street, capturing the fast-paced rhythm of New York City at its core. People bundled up against the cold walk hurriedly along sidewalks adorned with more neon signs and storefronts. Amidst all this activity, one cannot ignore the prevalence of smoking during that era. Puffs of smoke rise from individuals enjoying their Kent cigarettes—a common sight back then when smoking was still widely accepted. In "Times Square and Duffy Street New York 25th January 1970". Kenneth Green encapsulates not just a moment frozen in time but also provides us with glimpses into American society—its advertising industry, transportation habits, and even social norms surrounding smoking—all within one captivating frame.
