Inwood, Tenth Avenue at 212th Street


Mary Sargent © 2006

The preceding 5 photographs were taken over a week ago on Saturday, July 29th. I went out the next day because, according to my map, there is no 214th Street. Did I imagine it? No, 214th Street is right there where it should be, and it appears to have been there a long time. I’m not going to show you a photo of the sign. In terms of map time, I picked up only a tiny corner of Tenth Avenue at Post Street, but in terms of photographs, another story.

The sign on the blue building reads #117 Fashion. I keep reading it as Fascism.

What a wonderful picture! I shall go back to it again & again. You have a fantastic eye for light, color and shape.

A split second in time. How you see it in your mind's eye, and make the critical decision to capture it is amazing. It comes through in every one of your photographs.
