Kaufman’s Brooklyn: 11 photos of ‘The top 50 and the man who made them’
My father, Irving Kaufman (1910 – 1982), was a professional photographer who started in Brooklyn in the mid 1930s working for the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. He captured thousands of images of Brooklyn through the 1950s. I have recently digitized a great many of them. My father’s profile can be found here.
This week’s theme:
Six months, 26 weekly collections, and nearly 700 photographs. That’s quite a tally. It has been a privilege and a pleasure to display my father’s work to so many of you Brooklynites and others. To me, and I hope to many of you, it brought 1930s and ’40s Brooklyn to life, and brought my father to life.
