Documentary photographer Joshua Charow's Loft Law project was highlighted in NUVO Magazine in an article by Elia Essen.

 

"Of the thousands of creatives who were covered by the 1982 Loft Law, only a few hundred remain. In the pages of Loft Law, Charow documenting the stories of the photographers, painters, musicians, sculptors, and filmmakers who have weathered life amid a changing New York. They now live in some of the city’s most expensive areas, so Charow’s images ask: What is the true measure of a neighbourhood’s worth?"
