before the graffiti. beautiful.
So so good, showing most art photographers up for the charlatans that they are.
Ah…. Walk/Don’t Walk. It’s the simple things we miss.
Stunning. I am especially enamoured by the red umbrella in the snow.
Beautiful stuff, but how’d that cable-corded, pushbutton pay phone sneak into the 1950′s?
Don Draper would have loved these, but one of them is repeated (look for 463). Brilliant!
Beautiful–but that metal pay phone (12th from bottom) is not from the 50s–it’s a 1980s-present NYC subway pay phone. All the rest look absolutely genuine!
truly, truly wonderful shots. What an eye for mood and structure. Particularly No 7. More than good, great.
Sense of colour and composition – immpecable. Selection of point of focus – sublime.
Beautiful images, so considered and amazing use of colour, composition and cropping. The red theme running throughout and mostly reflections or fragments of people – an amazing slant on street photography.
A entire pizza for just 75c!!! ;____;
these are nice pictures… but i clicked on the link because i wanted to see pictures of new york from the 50′s, not extremely close up pictures of chipped paint. you can barely even tell that thats new york city.
