“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!

YALE Trucking “West Side Highway” 1988

This old truck was an ad for Yale trucking and was viewable from the old elevated West Side Highway which also was known as the Miller Highway a long long time ago…

“The Complete Budweiser Experience” 1988

This was just one of those moments where the stuff that you come across is so much better than anything you might have imagined you’d find as you left your house that morning!

The Neon Wilderness 1985

If you like cameras and cars, then here’s the oldest camera store with a Duster parked right in front. I don’t know if it really is the oldest store, but 1898 is pretty old. I don’t really know if the car’s a Duster, but it looks like one…

Eat Milk 1989

Another one of those old advertisements from the turn of the century (1900) that somehow managed to survive…

Self Titled 1993

An obviously silly photo which I have always liked, proving that I am not one to be taken seriously…

Lincoln Center 1995

I forgot about this picture and considering my love for old advertising, this is a picture I’m pretty happy with. Making way for a skyscraper, these 100 year old Omega Oil ads appeared briefly for a few months before being covered for another 100 years…
