McDarrah served as the eyes for millions of New Yorkers for more than 50 years." * Daily Mail * 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." * Independent * It wasn't just a case of being at the right place at the right time.
