“The images are bright and crisp…holds a curious fascination– indeed, a raw beauty–for anyone interested in vernacular design.”
-The New York Times

“These unfussy, elegant, and richly colored photographs of butcher shops, bakeries, and dive bars give connoisseurs of signage, folk typography, and ambient erosion much to pore over.”
-The New Yorker

“I strongly recommend this bestseller to inspiration-seeking artists, New York aficionados and all those who are keen on urban photography. ”

We spent time around the lower east side shooting our chair in front of the many shops, struggling shops and vacant store fronts. Over half the stores represented by the signs on our chair have closed since we photographed them.
