Just a quick one.
While walking around SoHo this morning, my kids and I found ourselves on the corner of Crosby and Howard, so I couldn't help paying homage to Michael Lavine's old portrait of Sonic Youth from many, many moons ago...
Obviously, it's a COMPLETELY different scene today.
Back in `97 or so, I took the below shot of this same corner.
I'm also quite fond of this little set of corners, as it's the spot where Paul Hackett is dropped off in the beginning of "After Hours" (which I've talked about way too many times here)....
Incidentally, later in the morning, we wound ourselves over to the East Side, and ended up in the same Forsythe Street park where that photo of Pussy Galore was shot back in 1987. I thought that would make for a nice juxtaposition for the Sonic Youth shot (being that Pussy Galore were arguably the Stones to the Sonic Youth's Beatles), but the bench was unfortunately occupied at the time by a gaggle of frankly aromatic gentlemen in varying states of inebriation. Oh well...
And just because.....
