“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…

“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?
