Sutton Place 1987

Sutton-Place-matt-weberThis was a perfect example of how bad things were in New York during the ’80s. Sutton Place is one of the most prestigious addresses in the city and the canopy was like this for months. Even the high rents these “poor” folks paid couldn’t keep their building in tip top shape.

I think I photographed these benches as they were the perfect symbol of New York’s decline in the 1980’s. The parks were so unsafe that you might have been better off staying home, but in this case if you were willing to risk it, you couldn’t even find a place to read your paper…
