(Old) Times Square
From 1985 to 1989, Judy raced to capture fast-disappearing old Times Square one step ahead of the wrecking balls. At age 50, she shot late into the night to document the street hustlers, working poor, preachers, and porn palace denizens against a backdrop of crumbling Art Deco facades—now long gone. As featured in Modern Photography, she then transformed the squalid scenes into what she called the “refulgence of decay” through the darkroom Sabatier printing technique, which twice flashes light on a developing gelatin silver print to create unpredictable tonal reversals, outlines and weird abstractions.
