The Neon Wilderness 1985

“La Tacita de Oro”

I always marveled at this building on 100th Street and Broadway, till they completely renovated it. It seemed like a building which one might have found in Kansas during the late nineteenth century…

Canal Street 1988

A man leans on the remnants of a turn of the century lamppost and behind it is the city’s idea of a replacement…made out of PLYWOOD?

World Trade Center 1989

The search of my archives has allowed to me to find a few images which I don’t remember taking, but was very pleased to find!

Coney Island 1988

For years I titled this one “My First Bud” but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t his first…

The South Bronx 1993

In some neighborhoods, the churches were the only buildings which didn’t get torched. On the upper west side, they did burn down some churches to build high rises. If there’s enough money at stake, some people will do anything…

Sunnyside N.Y. 1988

I’m still finding shots I practically threw away twenty years ago…

Eat Milk 1989

Another one of those old advertisements from the turn of the century (1900) that somehow managed to survive…

Lincoln Center 1995

I forgot about this picture and considering my love for old advertising, this is a picture I’m pretty happy with. Making way for a skyscraper, these 100 year old Omega Oil ads appeared briefly for a few months before being covered for another 100 years…
