‘the’ book / New York City / January 25-27, 2007
A friend, Jeanille Tumey, and I are working on a book of photos of the word ‘the’. The plan is to letterpress the text and to inkjet print the photos. We’ve been collecting images for about two years. I probably have 20 that would work for the book.
Here are my three favorites (from the nine decent ones I took) from the weekend of January 25-27.
Jill down in the subway standing in front of the mosaic signage which says “59th Street.”
I really love the architectural quality of this one.
And this one was especially important. This is the front of The Guggenheim Museum which is currently being renovated. I believe I read that when they were first building the museum they started putting the type higher than Frank Lloyd Wright wanted it. I guess the extra T is from that false start.

And I think I’m up to about 150 total images over 4 years - now let’s get down to picking the favorites!
