The Bowery

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.

As usual, I am working with the 4×5 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.
