EP 146 – Saul Leiter: The Quiet Poet of Photography


Listen Later

In a city that never sleeps, Saul Leiter found stillness. While mid-century New York pulsed with noise and energy, Leiter captured its quieter truths—moments slipping between raindrops, reflections in fogged windows, lovers in soft morning light.
