Photography Workshop
[edit]New York was a photojournalism mecca in the 1950s, and Peter Martin's "studio 61" at 286 Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village, New York, was a gathering place for many photographers at that time.[citation needed] Many contributed to the Photography Workshop publication, which was devoted to the photographer's work, techniques, equipment and art.
