Rebecca Lepkoff, camera in hand, navigated the streets of the Lower East Side in the 1930s and 1940s, capturing the lives and times of a vibrant, close-knit and functional multi-ethnic community. These images uncover a forgotten time and place and reveal how the Lower East Side has both stayed the same and changed forever. Schermerhorn Row Galleries, 12 Fulton Street. Open through December 2007.
