What time did you take the PJ Clarke's photo? Don't think I've ever seen the place shuttered like that.
Sir Fopling, Very early Sunday morning. Good catch.
I took the train down to NYC my freshman year to see my pop, on his way to Spain, the only pleasure trip he ever took solo without my mom. We shared a bed at the Roosevelt, I think. He took me to Tad's, telling me that he always had a steak there on layover when he was still flying in the '60s. I was in the City for maybe 18 hours.
It's teensy tiny things like that about him that I will take to my grave.
I'll take the boxing dogs and the paisley shawl collar rig...no, don't bother wrapping them...I'll wear one and play with the other in the cab back to Murray Hill.
Love the shot of LVD. I'm pretty sure I saw that robe also and I agree with MLS.
Great bunch of shots.

I like some of those shots. You've been shooting windows for a while. I'm going to go out on a limb and say you're probably the only New Yorker not so jaded that you'd refuse to aim a camera at your city's shop offerings. When you do things like that, eventually you get something "on film" that everyone asks, "How did you ever get that shot?" But it's really quite simple. Ninety percent of it is being there with a camera. The other ten percent is staying awake.
The National Geographic chief photo editor once said that a good photographer should be able to walk down any street in the world and make some good photographs. That advice seems a little dated in an age of ubiquitous cell phone cameras, but it's still true, because volume is never a guarantee of quality.
The inside of that 1977 J. Press catalog: I wonder, cool or scary?

Ben- That's a great story. Not sure if Tads is what it used to be but the facade is a trip back to Times Square hurkey-gurkey kitsch of 1962. I love it.
MLS- You better let me know if you're in the city before the 22nd or after the 3rd.
M Lane- The robe was in the window at Herzfeld. I need to caption the pics but can't remember where some of these places are.
DB- Thanks. I'm pretty sure a dog with a Canon 5D can shoot a car commercial today. There's a few of us who remember stopping down to get depth of field. Pushing Ektachrome to get an 18th century effect or drinking beer while rocking a Dektol tray back and forth. I think I beat you to developing slide film.
But I think the kids today are damn good shooters with some real standouts among the point and shooters. They have a unique way of seeing. People like you, Alice Olive and Foster Huntington bring an intelligence to images not to mention perfect space. Never too much or too little. I could never do that. Also, I'm in no hurry to use, much less mix, fixer ever again.
Do you recall which window the boxing dogs were in? I need to go see them. Badly.
Makaga- Scully & Scully but it was probably 4 yrs ago.
This is a wonderful collection - love the order you listed (?) posted (?) them - the way the colors jump out.
Patsy- Thanks. It took a while. I'm embarrassed to admit how long.
Love this!
Beautiful stuff. I used to "do" store windows during and just after college, so I love photos like this.
