Continuing my walk up the Bowery. Chinatown extends farther north than ever. There’s a lot of construction, but it’s hard to know which way things are going. It’s still a crazy quilt of shops, wildly diverse architecture, and crowded streets. In the late afternoon sun, shadows were sharp and colors vibrant. I made the photograph of the steel beams by sticking the camera through a construction fence.
