“Buick Valve in Head Neon Sign” Newburgh N.Y. 1986
Yesterday on July 4th I posted a picture of a pre-war Chevrolet sign, but should have posted this beauty because of the flag…
These days porcelain neon signs are worth a fortune but I never collected neon…Oh well, more spilled milk.

“Checker Taxi” North Bronx 1987
Yes another Checker Taxi cab for your enjoyment!
Prints are available and are surprisingly affordable in poster sizes…

“Howard Johnson’s” “Checker Taxi” Times Sq. 1986 (New Scan)
I wish I’d shot the Howard Johnson sign in color as it was one of the nicest examples of neon in New York…I can however sell you a print of this venerable institution flanked by lo and behold, another Checker taxi!

42d St. Blizzard of 1986-7
This picture does have some staining from uneven development, as it was before I’d figured out the proper amount of inversions for medium format film. I still was very pleased to find this frame after so many years…

“Bruce” L.I.C. New York 1990
Bruce was a great mechanic…He disappeared twenty years ago and was never seen again. He owed some people a lot of dough…Oh well.

“Empire Checker” 1988-9
I remember being excited with this view as I wiggled back and forth behind this checker, trying to line up the Empire State Building for this image….Unfortunately I underexposed this frame badly and can’t get a great print / scan from this negative. This view was gone shortly thereafter as the new office building has blocked the majestic “ESB” and I guess I’m lucky to have this picture at all…
