Consecutive Frames 1985

It just so happened that these pictures were of two old movie theaters which were being torn down at the same exact time…Sad if you lived on the upper west side when it was a middle class neighborhood…

Upper West Side 1985

Benny’s 89th & Broadway 1985

A sad photo of a tiny restaurant which was built into the New Yorker movie theater, and had to give way to a high-rise in ’85…

NYC 1985

Spent over an hour cleaning up this dusty negative. I think it was worth the work since it is exactly the type of picture I had set out to take thirty years ago.
