Lower East Side 1959 by Robert Anzell

I think my uncle told me that this was Orchard Street circa 1959. The year is not in doubt, but I don’t recognize the corner…

Lower East Side 1959

My late uncle Bob left home one day to see if he could shoot some “Street”. He shot just two rolls with his trusty Rolleiflex and this was my favorite shot. It’s actually a very good picture!

I remember taking this picture on the weekend of the 8th of September just a couple of days before the massacre downtown. I like the photo very much, as perhaps it’s the last nice moment I captured before the world changed forever…

Fear & Loathing in New York

Watching the HBO movie, “The Normal Heart” brought back a lot of very sad memories last night. Like most New Yorkers, I lost friends and I remember the fear which the virus caused many of us to feel. I recall how badly some people behaved including many from the right. The comments I’d hear in the back of my cab or see written on walls were sickening. There was a shortage of sympathy, and as usual a handful of people made a huge difference in fighting for those who couldn’t fight for themselves…

10th Ave. 1989

Still trying to rescan ALL of the plates from my book and I had no idea that this project would be so time consuming…

“Junk Man” Harlem 1988

I never was able to make a perfect print of this image and now 26 years later, I think this scan will be able to pull it off…

Harlem 1988

Finally scanned this one from the negative!

This dog was probably an early warning system for business which was being conducted within. It was the only building left on an entire block of East Harlem. It has always been a very popular image…
