Good morning on this damp Thursday.

Stanley Kubrick may have made it big in Hollywood and settled in England, but he was a New Yorker through and through.

Before “2001: A Space Odyssey,” “A Clockwork Orange” and “The Shining,” Kubrick, a Bronx native, was a street photographer, documentarian and chess hustler in the city.

Kubrick, who died in 1999 at the age of 70, would have turned 90 today. To celebrate him, we wanted to learn more about his life and his New York City.

We began by flipping through the photographs he shot at 17, when he worked for Look magazine.

“What is interesting about his New York is that it’s still the New York of the Depression and the war years,” said Donald Albrecht, the co-curator of an exhibition of Kubrick photos at the Museum of the City of New York. “It’s masonry, it’s Art Deco, it’s kind of gritty, and, at times, there is a seediness to the New York he depicts.”
