I like that this picture looks like 1928 New York almost as much as it did back in 1988. The only reason I could possibly know that these nearly extinct traffic lights are called “Olives” would be because of Kevin Walsh and his great website: Forgotten New York…

Photographing NYC for 25 years, six of them while driving a New York City taxi. Trying very hard to capture the city as life unfolds, meaning I never stage any of my photos! Also I am a close confidant of the immortal Dave Beckerman, (quintessential NYC photographer) and owner of the first photography blog in the known universe.
