a few more pix in the link below.

it's disorienting a bit, to see the city i grew up in now the subject of "retrospectives". some of these shots were taken after i finished my MA, fer chrissakes. and there are places that still look like them now. maybe i should post some of my own.

anyway...

These are fantastic. There are some really great shots there, and it's a real slice of New York history.
