New scan of an older image which I had dated to the day…

“KYLE” Broadway Local 1986
When I quit writing Graffiti in 1976 I never looked back…When I started photographing New York it never occurred to me that I should hit the tunnels again, with a camera instead of paint…Oh well, I could drown myself with all the spilt milk!

“The Central Park Lounge” Harlem 1988
Central Park’s northern end was nothing like its southern one. It has been developed and is much nicer today. 110th Street, also known as Central Park North between C.P.W. and 5th Ave is part of Harlem and I’m pretty sure this watering hole has been gone for a very long time…

“Revolutionary Era Mile Marker” Harlem 1987
I was stunned when I stumbled upon this stone mile marker a quarter century ago…I’m glad I snapped a few pictures of it, as it was stolen shortly thereafter. Should have ended up in a museum!

Park Ave. Hotel 1986
Park Ave. north of 96th Street has always been a different world, but at one point it was as run down as any street in Manhattan…

“Waiting for the Broadway Local” Harlem 2011
I have to set up a “For Sale”section on this site, but I am working on a few projects which have pushed commerce to the back seat. I’m not a very good web designer, but I will tackle this eventually. For the time being, most of my color images can be purchased as large prints at a very reasonable price.

“Jesus Saves” 1988
A much better scan…Maybe Harlem, and then again maybe not…

“The Complete Budweiser Experience” 1988
This was just one of those moments where the stuff that you come across is so much better than anything you might have imagined you’d find as you left your house that morning!
