I’ve invoked the Flickr photos of Leo London a few times here. I don’t know the guy. I just happened upon his pics, at one point, and found several that spoke to my own NYC experience, and I’ve been raiding his collection ever since. Apropos of nothing, I was looking at them again and thought I’d re-circulate them. Both the one up top and the one below are Leo's.
Presumably captured while he was an NYU student at the dawn of the `90s, Leo’s pictures detail his various apartments in the East Village and Lower East Side, his exploits at any number of bars and cocktail parties, a few random road trips and his life gigging in a band called, I believe, Lobster of Hate. It’s not that his photographs are anything that novel, but they seem aligned with my own predilections and associations of the New York City of that era.
Please enjoy them and tell him Flaming Pablum sent ya. And as long as we're talking Flickr feeds, you can see my own similarly inclined collection here.
