Inspired by a recent rumination on West Broadway over on The SoHo Memory Project, I did a Google image search yesterday and was bemused by my findings. I was intrigued by a particular image of some graffiti artists, so I selected that one, only to discover that it was a photo that's I'd already "favorited" on my Flickr account.
There, in one single gallery, were several images I'd similarly cited as faves, and it made for some intriguing viewing (well, for me, obviously). If you're a fan of all things New York City, herein, you'll find photographs of several since-forgotten storefronts, a clutch of stirring, moody black n' white shots of various Manhattan locales and landmarks, brilliant flashes of colorful street art and so much more. The photograph above, for example, (taken by one Leo London) was also snapped on West Broadway, just south of Grand Street looking west, and features one of Rene's old "I Am The Best Artist" murals circa the late 80's/early 90's. Don't bother looking for that now.
You may recognize a few from posts I've put up here on Flaming Pablum in the past. You'll also find a few scattered photos along the way of bands I like and the odd picture that might not make any sense to you, but feel free to ignore those.
But seeing them collected in one spot made me want to share them. Please enjoy.
