Matt Weber (Street photography), homeless, Old New York, signs

NYC 1988

This old lady would sleep on the corner of 86th & Broadway, and one night she used her “Red Apple” shopping bag to create a pillow. I have recently seen a new wave of homelessness which rivals the 1980’s, hit New York. This time it’s mostly runaways from other towns who are young, white, and addicted to heroin.

Matt Weber Harlem, Old New York

Signed Print For Sale

Hopefully the odds that I sell a print are slightly better!
