Sylvia Plachy, the first photographer assigned to shoot the opening photograph of the legendary Goings On About Town section of The New Yorker, will discuss key images from this exclusive assignment, featured in her latest Aperture book, Goings On About Town: Photographs for The New Yorker (co-published with The New Yorker, 2007).

I have a notebook filled with several years worth of photos I have clipped out of the New Yorker Goings On About Town section...so you better believe I'll be in the front row for this lecture....
