I've been a follower of Watching New York on Instagram for a while. Johnny Cirillo, the photographer, tracks sartorial people who walk along the streets of NY. And recently, he decided to make a book of his images.

Please consider the following sentence to be something I never thought that I'd say in 2024. This book is a glorified Instagram post that feels simply like curation done by likes filtered through an algorithm. Unlike the Sartorialist before him, Johnny seems to be mostly capturing scenes with a telephoto lens. Of course, that's not the truth as he speaks about his interactions with folks. But if you compare the two, there's a much different style. . thephoblographer.com
