July, 2008:
Thank YOU Kevin Walsh!
Jump & Walsh holding NY Daily News spread on which they collaborated.
Vincenzo and I are traveling abroad, currently driving through Piedmont, Italy, The Alps & Provence France & Barcelona, Sitges, and The Costa Brava of Spain – shooting fading ads and other ephemera. I’ve been posting from here sporadically in between a month’s worth of scheduled postings of Brooklyn, NYC & Queens. I’ve noticed an incredible amount of traffic on my site from Kevin Walsh’s Forgotten-NY and was surprised and honored to see the generous and heartfelt posting on his site about when we first met.
Ten years surely goes by quickly, yet it has been ten years filled with meaningful and formative collaborations. Kevin’s site continues to inspire and direct the course of urban archaeology. I’m grateful to have met him at the time I started the Fading Ad Campaign in 1997- knowing that I wasn’t the only crazy person interested in the documentation of urban ephemera and the passing of time.
