Stanley Greenberg is a photographer who works in New York City. His long-term projects look at the hidden systems of cities. They include Invisible New York, Waterworks, Springs and Wells of Manhattan and the Bronx, Gasworks, Olmsted Trees and CODEX: New York.
In the 1980s he worked for New York City government. After he left in 1988, he began to photograph places that people have heard of but do not get to see, such as bridges, tunnels, power plants and the water system. His book Invisible New York was published by Johns Hopkins University Press in 1998.
Waterworks was first published in 2003. It collects photographs of the water system of New York City. He finished the first set of pictures in spring 2001, and after 9/11 access to the sites was closed. The new edition, published by Kris Graves Projects, has a fold-out map and updated information. He has received a Guggenheim Fellowship (2005).
