NYC 1985
Spent over an hour cleaning up this dusty negative. I think it was worth the work since it is exactly the type of picture I had set out to take thirty years ago.

Another Black & White Memory “La Tacita de Oro” 1986
I know this total hyperbole but I once heard that the Beasty Boys lived upstairs in this adorable wooden house on West 100th St. Regardless of who lived there, this building was still in its 19th century elegance when I took this photo. I think there may be a modern restaurant called the Metro Diner there now…

“Sex, Drugs & Rock N Roll” 1985
In 1973 I stopped taking photographs for reasons which I will not explain, but in December of 1984 I bought an AE-1 Canon and a 50mm lens and started to photograph New York, most often while I was driving my yellow cab. This image was pushed heavily (Probably 3200) since I figured that was the way to go, and to be honest, I never became very good at developing film. Printing was different, but I guess my fear to develop film by inspection with a green safelight, left me guessing, and more often than not, the results were just passable…
