Carole Teller's 'Changing New York' depicts how lower Manhattan drastically changed through the eras. The photos show how the artistic NYC district also held onto certain characteristics no matter the decade. Teller's pictures feature every type of New Yorker, from the homeless to the children, the artists and the men in suits. Manhattan may now be dotted with Soul Cycles and Shake Shacks, luxury apartments and designer boutiques, but the relics of its past have been preserved thanks to Teller and her camera. The artist, who has lived in the East Village since the early 1960's, kept her lens trained on the city as buildings came and went, while others refused to relent. The poignant collection also shows what has been preserved in New York through the decades, from the carts selling shaved ice to the fascination of a crowd with a performer in the middle of Washington Square Park.
