NYC - Then - Photography Exhibit , CMAP

Thursday January 22, 2026
3:30 PM - 5:00 PM

Born in New York City in 1932 and raised in its metropolitan area, Ronald S. Schotland was captivated by the city’s evolving landscape, its architecture, street life, and quiet poetry of postwar New York. His black-and-white photographs taken during 1947–1964 while in high school and later as a college undergraduate and graduate student working towards a PhD in Chemistry preserve a time of transition — moments of grace and grit that shaped the city’s enduring character. In succeeding years his interest in photography continued as an avocation. Join us for this opening reception and artist discussion as Ron Schotland reflects on his process, the stories behind his images, and the enduring spirit of Old New York.
