This is a black and white photo of the same newsstand of which I photographed in color, posted the other day (Red Newspaper Stand on 46th Street 9.1.1991). I returned to photograph this newsstand over a long period of time. I think I like the black and white version better than the color one.

I like the bw version the most. And the figure in this one seems made for the photo.
Yes, I was looking for a subject that would recall the feel of old New York (from the perch of the 1990s).
