Times Square Go-Go Club 1985

I shot a few rolls of Ektachrome and some of the older rolls have faded badly. Maybe the sign was so vivid that the emulsion still held enough of the original colors to look decent thirty years later…

“Paradise Alley” 1986

strippers=NYC-1986-matt-weberI was surprised to find  I had not posted this picture before today. I always thought the short guy entering “Paradise” looked a little like Danny Devito. I also liked the poor working girl in the white boots…
