John Baer's Hidden Post-War Street Archive Finally Published

John Baer shot close to 4,000 frames across post-war Europe and New York City between 1945 and 1954, starting with a Leica he picked up from a captured German soldier at Normandy. None of it was ever published. His son found the negatives, silver gelatin prints, and contact sheets after Baer died in 1994, and the archive has now been released as a book: The Extraordinary Ordinary.
