Prints, Drawings, and Photographs
From his loft on Sixth Avenue in New York, and unobserved, Smith photographed the incidents of daily life on the streets below his windows in a two-year series of photographs that he called "As From My Window I Sometimes Glance." [new para] Smith, a noted photojournalist who had covered the world for a variety of magazines, gave himself the assignment of having the world come to him, however commonplace it might be. [new para] Selections from Smith’s series were published in a photo-essay, "Drama Beneath a City Window," in Life in 1958.
