Drew Carolan's Native Eye Is like a Time Machine taxi driven by the sharpest cabby in the 5 boroughs. I grew up on the lower east side so his images are uncanny to me, embodying moments I've long forgotten and/ or never experienced, like the dreams of a long lost brother. I have seen what he has seen, but he has captured what was fleeting in judicious frames both loose and deftly chosen. He captures moments in time I know exist no more. His love for a city that is no longer is heartbreaking and sweet to me. He has a way with people as well, both incisive and respectful, intimate and removed. He's an historian of forgotten history and an artist able to capture those moments when the ever-transforming city and its people offered themselves up to his camera witness as art, as narrative, and as eternal. -- David Duchovny, Native New Yorker
