A Period Piece
I’m still fawning over so many of the photos from Wired Forum’s New York in Black and White.
Staring at these photos makes me remember why I love this city, even on muggy days when tons of tourists slow up sidewalk traffic. And it makes me eager to enjoy this place when most of the other locals abandon ship in August.
I want to preserve these memories and create new ones in their mold, so I’ve started to recreate some of these shots, starting with Union Square. This is a project I’ll continue throughout the summer. First shots after the jump.
