Oldsmobile of Flatbush
I love traveling down Flatbush Ave past Prospect Park because there’s so much history to find hidden on every block. I noticed this Oldsmobile ghost sign (ghost sign: a business sign remaining from a long defunct business) at the corner of Avenue D and Flatbush above a liquor store: God knows how long ago this…
Could I Get A Hand Holding This Thing?
One of my favorite blocks in Manhattan is West 46th Street btw. 5th and 6th Avenues. An incredibly diverse mix of styles are represented there, ranging from art deco buildings to brownstones. All were built prior to 1930 and very little has been done since, making the block essentially an architectural museum. West 46th is…

It’s the archetypal image of a New York City alley – narrow, dank, secluded, and bordered by decaying loading docks, rusting fire escapes, and graffitied brick walls. I love the fact that if…

Some of you might be surprised…
1920’s Atlantic City in Greenpoint, Brooklyn
After watching the premiere of Boardwalk Empire last night, I was really excited to check out the Atlantic City set for myself, which was built in a parking lot in northern Greenpoint. A locations friend who lives in GP pointed me to a vacant lot on Commercial Street and Clay Street, and I hopped on…

cute
Interesting concept! Thanks for sharing!
Heh. Doesn’t feel hipster at all; more like an early Yoko Ono conceptual piece.
This is great. Thanks for sharing. I’d like to use this in an architecture lecture and would like to credit the artist. What does that say at the bottom of the image “Living ______” ?
“Living Exercises”
Interesting! What a great way to make friends.
Nice thought.
I love this too. I posted a picture of this on my twitter a few months ago. I post a lot of random pictures from Brooklyn and Manhattan like this from my blackberry as I walk the streets. Feel free to follow me @evatography.
I also have professional photography work that can be viewed here
