After WWII Todd Webb moved to New York City and began devoting his time entirely to photography.  For several years, Webb spent his days exploring New York City on foot through the lenses on his medium and large format cameras.  The New York images in Todd Webb's portfolio offer simple majestic views of Manhattan's skyscrapers, as well as documentary-like scenes of life on the city's busy streets.  While in New York, Webb also photographed several important figures, including George Gershwin, and photographers Berenice Abbott, Gordon Parks and Webb's mentor Alfred Stieglitz.  Todd Webb's New York images are published in Todd Webb: New York, Paris (Hallmark Cards, Inc., 1986), Todd Webb: New York, Paris, O'Keeffe, Friends (MegaPress Japan, 1998), and Looking Back: Memoirs and Photographs (University of New Mexico Press, 1991).
