Walking down the Bowery one comes across all kinds of stuff displayed on the streets. Between Houston and Delancey it's the restaurant supply business with stainless steel cooking equipment being cleaned on the sidewalk, bulky pizza ovens and refrigerator units hoisted by forklifts on and off trucks. Chairs and bar stools are stacked in front of storefronts, and even decorating bric-a-brac is available. The way things are going, however, this raw working Bowery is doomed.
The Bowery
As usual, I am working with the 4x5 view camera, and these images were made with a small digital camera to preview what I'm doing and encourage a somewhat different way of looking at things.
Back in New York after a less than smooth re-entry. I forgot my keys and cell phone, and by a miracle was able to get my assistant Chris to meet me at my apartment with his set of extra keys. The weather has been beautiful since arriving, and I got out with my camera for another walk through the Lower East Side. I began close by on the Bowery. More pictures to come...
