Description
From 1977 to 1980 Martha Cooper was a staff photographer on the NEw York Post. Between daily assignments throughout the city, she began to document unsupervised kids playing amidst the rubble of disintegrating neighborhoods. Her interest in creative play eventually led her to document graffiti, a subject which led, in turn, to Hip Hop. Martha's unique and well known photos of New York's emerging Hip Hop scene have been widely published. This collection of streetplay photos represents her earlier, less well known work, and many are published here for the first time. The book Street Play shows the creative and indominable spirit of New York City kids as they turn their inhospitable environment into an adventure playground. Martha says: "the city's poorer neighborhoods had the richest streetlife (...) to an adult's eye, the landscape was ugly and forbidding, but to a child the abandoned buildings made perfect playgrounds."
