- In a new book, photographer Joshua Charow documents the rich history of New York City's artist lofts.
- Protected by the Loft Law, a generation of artists were able to preserve their live-work spaces.
- Nearly impossible in today's rental market, these spaces still inspire people around the world.
When he was a teenager, photographer Joshua Charow would sneak into buildings around New York City in search of the perfect rooftop shot.
