Esther Bubley was rarely without a camera. Wherever she was, she documented what was happening around her whether on assignment or not. During the 54 years she lived in New York City, she captured tens of thousands of city scenes, both typical and bizarre. In the process, she documented numerous fixtures of city life that have now disappeared such as the Automat and the gum machines on subway platforms. From the mid-1960s on, one of her favorite locations was Central Park, where she spent several hours a day walking her dog, and, of course, taking pictures.
