I’ve been quietly lurking around the photography of Joe Holmes for the last few years now, and he has some really amazing street shots of NYC. Given the continuing/current hard times in New York, he started shooting vacant retail and commercial spaces. Slightly depressing, but also incredibly hopeful and filled with potential. I love the city when its empty. Walking late nights, or early mornings. Its always been the best way to really appreciate and notice details of the neighborhoods. Maybe if you are a shop or bar owner you see these spaces more for their potential. If you’re a writer, you probably see potential canvases.
