I just recently discovered the work of photographer Frank Larson and he is now one of my photographic heroes. The son of Swedish immigrants, Larson served in the army during World War I and lived most of his life in New York City. By day, he worked as an auditor for the Empire Trust Company in Manhattan. But at night and on the weekends, he would explore the city with his camera. His pictures, which he developed and printed in a darkroom in his basement, captured New York City in the 1950s. You can see a few of his pictures below but you should also visit The Photography of Frank Oscar Larson to see more of his wonderful work!
