New York/Crosby Street

Cervin Robinson -- © Brian Rose

Making my usual morning walk across town I came upon Cervin Robinson at Houston and Crosby Street. He was photographing the Bayard-Condict Building, Louis Sullivan's only New York structure. Robinson has photographed this building before--and many other Sullivan buildings.

Here's a screen capture of one his photographs of the same building made many years ago.

I didn't linger to chat with Cervin because I could see that at that moment a shaft of low winter light was raking perfectly across the facade of the building at the top of Crosby Street.
