For nearly 20 years, William Meyers canvassed the streets of New York photographing life as he encountered it, taking the train to under-explored areas. His recent book, Outer Boroughs: New York Beyond Manhattan (from publisher Damiani), is a collection of photographs from his time wandering through neighborhoods in Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island.
