A major figure of street photography since the 1970s, Cohen has never stopped photographing his home town in Pennsylvania and the country around it. With no documentary intention, he has kept a stranger's distance for more than forty years, always alert. On an impulse lasting fractions of a second he gets extremely close to his subjects and takes them without looking through the viewfinder.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is a digital platform dedicated to independent photobooks, photography publications, design books, and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
