Neal Santos: La Ultima Bodega En Soho

"We are all photographers as we live with phones in hand, what seems like every moment. I am no different. Nokia, blackberry, and numerous iPhones were used to capture these photos. That they survived till now amazes me, I don't collect shit, not even Jpgs. They were taken in the moment, which was as far as that was supposed to go.

The photos in this book are of a time, a place, a community now gone. There was no premeditation. The moments captured are unintentional and devoid of posturing. I got what the moment gave me, and I accepted that.

Time creeps on, and we lose our friends and loved ones. One day, it will be my turn. The reason for this book is simple: preserving a part of NYC culture (NOT JUST DOWNTOWN) and paying homage to this community for embracing me with open arms and showing me love. These are my people, and this is my art; please enjoy."
