Lower East Side 1989

I was thrilled to find this image. It think it was taken on East Houston Street. This view of late Nineteenth century housing is probably very different today. If the buildings are still standing, there would be a few air conditioners in the windows. Over half of the tenants who were living here would have been replaced with upscale and much younger ones. They were known as “Yuppies” back in the day….

 

Ah the good old days!

“Harry’s Burritos” 1988

I finally found this negative which I misplaced many years ago. Her name is Phoebe and I was told she is a fairly well known actress. I never shoot celebs and I didn’t know who she was. To tell the truth, I handed my camera to my pal who was riding shotgun because I didn’t want to crawl onto his lap to take the picture. So I developed the film and printed the picture, and then lost the negative twenty three years ago! Here’s a fresh scan of an image I never thought would resurface…
