“Bruce” L.I.C. New York 1990

Bruce was a great mechanic…He disappeared twenty years ago and was never seen again. He owed some people a lot of dough…Oh well.

I always thought and of course I could be wrong, that the women were talking about men, while the men, were just talking about money…

I saw this guy scraping the posters off of his newsstand and pulled over my taxi. I know the torn poster thing has been done for ages, but in 1987 I thought I was onto something new. Then I saw Walker Evans Minstrel Showbill photos taken 50 years earlier…Oh well.

“Empire Checker” 1988-9

I remember being excited with this view as I wiggled back and forth behind this checker, trying to line up the Empire State Building for this image….Unfortunately I underexposed this frame badly and can’t get a great print / scan from this negative. This view was gone shortly thereafter as the new office building has blocked the majestic “ESB” and I guess I’m lucky to have this picture at all…
