Philip Morris
- taken June, 1998-

Fifth Avenue and East 20th Street


The New York Times had quoted me in 1998 as calling these signs "tombstones." Although I was taken out of context (I see most of these signs as signs of life, metaphors for survival) -this particular sign does have a tombstone quality.

Now in retrospect, the ghostly image of the World Trade Center in the distance is haunting.
