Lower East Side 1959

Lower-east=side-1959My late uncle Bob left home one day to see if he could shoot some “Street”. He shot just two rolls with his trusty Rolleiflex and this was my favorite shot. It’s actually a very good picture!

“Like it Was” The Bronx 1989

bronx-coca-cola-matt-weberI had the rare White Coca Cola button. I had a black cat. I even had a White Trans Am., but I never had a single print of this corner…I just realized yesterday, that many of my better images are just a bunch of “zeros and ones”.

And Moses said, “Let There be Traffic, Forever!”

GW-BRIDGE-CROSS-BRONX-SIGN-MATT-WEBERI love old signs. The Cross Bronx Expressway has had traffic problems for as long as I can recall. This sign may have predated the “parking lot” which it became, but I guess without it, things would even be worse…
