The Anderson Theater 1986

I looked it up on the trusty internet and alas this old theater is now gone, replaced by condos…Surprise, surprise.

St. Marks Place & 1st Ave. 1986

Triangle Hotel 1986

The “Meat Packing” district has been improved greatly, and if you bought real estate there twenty years ago, bully for you… others would disagree…©Matt Weber

Breaking Ground 1986

I shot a few rolls of Ektachrome and some of the older rolls have faded badly. Maybe the sign was so vivid that the emulsion still held enough of the original colors to look decent thirty years later…

“Red, White and Blue” 1985
