Harf Zimmerman, Life Behind the Berlin Wall

The NY Times Lens ran this great piece on Harf Zimmerman and his collection of images from Hufelandstrasse, Germany in 1980 and I'm entranced by it. He spent a great deal of time creating portraits of the residents of the socialist East German neighborhood, both in their homes and on the street, creating a unique, humanized, time capsule.

There's a book that compiles many of the images but it is, unsurprisingly, sold out. So, as you scour eBay for a copy, listen to Zimmerman himself talk about the project, browse his portfolio and re-read that Times piece.
