Catching up with legendary street photographer Flo Fox



We've written about the prolific street photographer Flo Fox in the past … Today, at age 69, Fox, despite blindness, multiple sclerosis and lung cancer, continues to take photos on a daily basis thanks to her attendants, friends and sometimes total strangers.

Curbed has a new interview with her, which you can read here.

Do you find today's New York less photogenic than it was in the 70s and 80s?

No. It's always a place to be. I am a tourist every day in my own town. I don't miss the '70s and '80s, but the '50s and '60s. The doo wop. The rhythm and blues.

Meanwhile, check out her interview on Tom Snyder from 1980...

Why is it that the people who don't miss the 70s and 80s are people actually doing something?

Doing what? Just as an aside, could you please not post anonymously, a nom de plume, used consistently, at least gives us a chance to know whom we're talking to. With the utmost respect

I've known Flo and loved and admired her since the 70's. A great photographer and very Cool Lady.
