Much of Martin Elkort’s early work focused on scenes shot in his own backyard, New York City, where he developed themes for his work, seen on other pages of this website. But occasionally, photos did not fit easily into these sections so we titled this section, New York and Beyond, to display photos that were shot around New York as well as in other boroughs, in upstate Maine, on his honeymoon in New Orleans, Louisiana as well as other locations. His focus on documentary street photography continues. Showing people engaged in work, play and socializing, New York and Beyond also encompasses some semi abstract shots.
