forgotten signs

I found these great handwritten advertising for sideshow acts in Coney Island.  Unfortunately, I don;t think they will last very long.  They are in the enterance way to a door that seems like it isn't used much and if so, isn't used with much care.  I didn't get a picture of the entire doorway but I did take photos of the the advertisments. I feel like I am in some way preserving the past with these pictures.  Hopefully whoever owns the property will save these little treasures:

Here are photos #'s 148 and 149:

Icons of New York City

I was back in NYC for a couple of weeks and had a fun time revisiting New York with a fresh set of eyes and photographing it.  I'll probably be posting a bunch of photos from NY over the next few posts. I have to thank time and distance away from the city to be able to do it... have I become a tourist? 

I'm going to try something new and make links to the photos on my Etsy site to see if it works as a way to view the images.  It's aparently good for my Etsy site to get links from ouside sources.  I'm clearly trying to get some exposure here.  So.. .here are photos 145, 146 and 147:

Brooklyn's Eiffel Tower: the Parachute Jump of Coney Island




The Brooklyn Bridge



The Flatiron Building



Please do me a favor and let me know how this works for you.

Thanks a bunch!
