View from 224 Avenue B. Photo by Ken Schles.
Ken Schles lived in an abandoned building in the East Village in the 1980s, photographing and witnessing drugs and AIDS destroy the people he knew. While the nature of vintage photography often lends itself towards nostalgia for an earlier era, Schles actively fights such characterization of the East Village. As the New York Times writes:
The post Photographer Ken Schles Looks Back at the East Village of the 1980s first appeared on Untapped Cities.
