New York Signage

Old and new ….

I’m going to be getting a nice camera in the next month or so … no more of this cell-phone-photo crap although sometimes the snaps come out looking okay. Like the neon one below. I kinda like it – the blurriness gives the correct feel to it, because it was raining last night when I took that pic at about 11:45 pm.

And the second photo below … it’s just an old water-stained utilitarian sign, but I find such beauty in it.

Every time I see an example of old-timey signage in New York, I feel compelled to capture it. It’s a ghost of days gone by. You can still see it everywhere, though … you just need to train your eyes to look for it.
