Ever wonder what Halloween would be like if you were a kid growing up in New York City? In this series, named Halloween in Harlem, photographer Amy Stein explores this question as shows us the many colorful kid costumes walking the urban streets.

Stein is a photographer and teacher based in New York City. Her work explores our evolving isolation from community, culture and the environment. Raised in Washington DC, and Karachi, Pakistan, she currently teaches photography at Parsons The New School for Design and the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
