Hip priest - the photography of Paul McDonough

A bunch of amazing Paul McDonough NYC photographs popped up online recently and reminded me of how great his work is - see them here. I first discovered his work a couple of years ago upon the event of some show or another of his. Click away on the links and appreciate these fantastic shots taken between 1968-1972.

A book of his work, Paul McDonough: New York Photographs 1968-1978, is available from the Umbrage Gallery.
