“Greenwich Village’s poet-photographer laureate, penning subversive verse in black and white silver gelatin prints.”<i>AnOther Magazine</i><br />“His images – of Jack Kerouac and the Beat generation, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Andy Warhol, Allen Ginsberg, Robert Mapplethorpe, Susan Sontag, a campaigning Bobby Kennedy and the first gay pride activists – defined the city, its artists, politicians and freaks throughout the 50-odd years he clicked his shutter.”<i>Independent</i><br />“Fred W. McDarrah served as the eyes for millions of New Yorkers for more than 50 years.”<i>Daily Mail</i><br />“He famously shot a generation of young hopefuls who had come to New York to make their reputations — hopefuls named Kerouac and Warhol and Dylan and Joplin.”<i>The New York Times</i><br />"McDarrah had an inflamed curiosity, great feelers and an ability to capture liquid moments. He also had hustle.” Dwight Garner, <i>The New York Times </i><br />“It wasn’t just a case of being at the right place at the right time. McDarrah proved that he was more than just a passive cameraman snapping away at the sidelines. He put himself in the position to capture the best images the world had to offer.”<i>Lomography</i><br />“No one captured the movers and shakers of New York City — and America at large — with more immediacy and verve than Fred W. McDarrah.”<i>Village Voice</i>
