The Way Things Used to Look

You may remember a little while back I posted an entry about stumbling upon the weblog of former White Zombie guitarist-turned-producer J. Yuenger. He'd found a photo of mine and added it to his ongoing collection of Found Images. Ever since, I periodically check out his blog, as we seem to have similar interests. While perusing through it today, I noticed he'd put up a series of striking photographs of NYC taken by one Francisco Hidalgo. Here are a couple of my favorites -- notably West Broadway, obviously shot sometime in the mid-70's (before billboards replaced the murals) and one from the East Village. Be sure to check out the rest of the shots by clicking right here.
