Book of Dreams

Jack probably wasn’t dreamimg of limousines, but he was smart enough to keep a pad of paper next to his bed and write down as many of his dreams as he could remember …

NEDICKS Times Sq. 1986

If you didn’t like their “Orange-Ade” you gotta love the old door handles that Nedick’s used. While we’re at it, I also like old storefronts with curved window glass…©Matt Weber

91st Street Subway Station 2015

I was surprised that this picture came out so well. Traveling fairly fast on an express train, and shooting through a dirty window, this really ain’t as bad as my grammar…

“One Man’s Trash” 1987

I can’t believe I left this one behind, but I was neck deep in signs back in ’87…

“Cycle Sluts From Hell Crossing the Deuce” 1988

I had to scan an old print, and one day I’ll scan the negative. This is the picture the band liked and if the fourth member had been in the photo, they might have used it for an album, at least that’s what I was told…

“The Cycle Sluts From Hell” 1988

The “Sluts” were a punk band and I recall they liked this picture…

Under the Boardwalk 1989
