As I continue to search my older negatives, the overall feeling I get from the New York of twenty years ago is pretty depressing. This might be one of the better portraits I’ve done. It’s a sad one. Not as bad as the images we’ve all seen from third world countries, but this is New York and a twelve year old boy shouldn’t be out late at night training to become a squeegee man…

I actually have a lot of photos taken in 1990, mostly from the lower east side when I lived on the corner of Ridge and Rivington.

That neighborhood was a completely different place back then….I’m sure you took a few good ones!
