Hayman is one of the great photographers of New York and brings to his vision a unique marriage of Symbolism’s dream-like quality and the New Objectivity’s clarity and precision. It is a way of seeing New York that no other photographer has captured, just as Gander, in the tradition of Whitman, Crane, and Ginsberg, gives us a fresh, new American epic of hope and reclamation." - The Publisher 21st Editions was awarded the prestigious Independent Publisher (IPPY) Book Award Gold Medal in 2009 for "Best Book Arts Craftsmanship" for its publication "The New City."
