I can't shake the feeling that I might have shared this album of images before, but I can't find any evidence that I did, so I'm serving them up now. If you've already seen them, my apologies.
Via this link, you'll find a remarkable selection of photographs on Flickr snapped by one Pete McAlister in New York City in 1983. In his own words about same, he writes:
I visited New York from London a number of times in the Eighties, on business, and took these photographs in 1983. It was an exciting time for me. I was fascinated by the streets and the informal graphic dialogue covering a lot of the available space. My memory of the exact locations is sketchy but I walked a lot of miles around the lower East Side and Alphabet City. I would welcome feedback if it rings anyone's bells.
Within, you'll find striking images of street art, city living and elements of Manhattan topography that are nigh on unrecognizable when compared to today's iteration. It's some great stuff. Check it out.
