A small but “important” detail of this picture is the old 1960’s Pepsi-Cola Sign in the background which had been hanging in front of “La Caridad” for a long time when I snapped these workers riding in the truck. If I wasn’t a sign collector and a fan of their Spanish-American cuisine then I’m sure the demo guys would be the only part of this picture which mattered…

Williamsburg 1985

This old porcelain sign had started to fade from decades of sunlight, but I’m sure the lamp post it was attached to was much older. More info on this can be found at Forgotten New York

NYC 1985

Spent over an hour cleaning up this dusty negative. I think it was worth the work since it is exactly the type of picture I had set out to take thirty years ago.
