Name of US Street Photographerwho catches people spotlit in sunlight...

I remember once seeing seeing some photos by an American (I think) street photographer who made a point of catching people spotlit in the shafts of light that glance down between city (New York?) skyscrapers.

Does anyone know his name or have a link?

I am attending a street (fashion) photography workshop tomorrow and I'm seeking some inspiration and Google efforts aren't coming up with the goods.

Many thanks,

Paul

PS Any othe good links also appreciated!

This is probably not it, but have a look:

if I mock you, it may be well deserved.

OK this is frustrating. It is probably the photographer I am thinking of, mid to late twentieth century and it is probably the shot I am thinking of of suited business men passing through a shaft of light in Manhattan. I can't remember the name of the photographer but it was published in Life magazine. I have been doing that sort of thing as a part of street work ever since I saw it as a kid.

Of course if none of this rings true then I have no idea but I'm going to try to look it up at the libraries on Monday. You've got me going again darn it.

...oh, and I see by the lack of responses that I am right yet again.

I'm guessing this is NOT what you had in mind, but perhaps it will inspire:
