“Bobby Long” 2010
I saw Bobby the other day and he’s not doing very well. I can tell you he’s had a rough life without exaggerating. He told me he was a photographer too once upon a time. He did recognize my M6 so I think he may have been telling me the truth. Something went terribly wrong when he was much younger. Not that I know all the details, but he was incarcerated forty years ago. It was the one of the last prisons you would want to be in 1971…He was in Attica when the shit hit the fan!

different interest rate,
Same Shit.
“Howard Johnson’s” Times Square 1988
As I continue to search for images which I may have overlooked twenty years ago, I am constantly coming across some pleasant surprises. This sign was an iconic part of Times Sq. for several decades. Once again, I do have a master printer who has kindly offered to print my work at a reasonable price. Archival Pigment Prints of most of the images on this website, can be purchased. Just e-mail me for a quote…Thanks!

“Religion Gone Bad” Harlem 1988
I wish the days of kooky religion were gone, but these sort of sentiments are still very much alive these days. This sign was painted during the height of the AIDS epidemic and was up on a fence in Harlem for a couple of years. No one dared take it down…
Notice the © sign. Was this worth copyrighting?

“No Parking 1957”
Another very old New York City parking sign from the late 1950s…Maybe these signs are below the radar of Forgotten New York, or then again maybe not…

“Vintage No-Parking Sign” Queens N.Y. 1988
This is a vintage NYC parking sign from the late 1950s or early ’60s…Not the type of sign I collect, but photographed amongst the overgrowth of deep Queens, I think it’s mildly interesting…

“Downtown” 1989
Hey, this picture might work well on the cover of an LP but CD’s have replaced them years ago. Wait a minute, MP3s are the, no make that MP4s are the format…Maybe I could crop the image a little more from each side and put it on the cover of a book, but Amazon has changed the game with their Kindle, and books are suddenly selling less than their digital counterparts. I guess I could reformat it for the I-Pad, but how long do you think that will be the rage?
How about an “Archival Pigment Print” created by a master of the art of Zhee-Clay printing?
