New York City is without a doubt one of the most photographed cities in the world. With its density of skyscrapers, ethnic neighborhoods, art museums, cultural centers, Broadway and Central Park, the Big Apple succeeds in being everything to almost everyone.

In the images presented in this PDNB Gallery exhibition, one can understand the artistry of taking the photograph at the right moment, the "decisive moment." These images date throughout most of the 20th Century. The artists selected for this show have mostly lived in this city all of their lives.

They captured in black and white, and later color, the energy and emotion reflected during the Great Depression, WWII, and the prosperous time of the 1950s, the Vietnam War of the 1960s and Disco era of the '70s.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display through March 29.
