Hey, keep it up and you'll have a decent portfolio of NY street images, Tintin.

Alice- You're a great motivation.; 26 October, 2009 09:20

The shot of the store brings back memories of my childhood. When I was a small girl the corner stores kept everything behind the counter, the owner and his family lived in room behind the store, and you could buy a pack of cigarettes for your dad with note from your mom. Camels, no filters. And a 1/4 pound of Krakow Polish ham, thinly sliced and wrapped in butcher paper. D; 26 October, 2009 10:12

tintin said...: D- That's amazing. This was my 1st bodega in NYC. When the owners found out I was a ranger at the Statue of Liberty and Ellis they allowed me to cash checks. Walking in there 24 years later brought back memories of financial anxiety.

anon 13:04- I know I'm grateful not to be living on Dinty Moore which was the case 24 years ago.

ME- I could use a better one. You still shooting? With a camera?; 27 October, 2009 08:04
