Thought this was worthy of mention again; cover photo is presumably from 1964.


Amazing that this guy took 60,000 photos and they’re still unprocessed and unavailable half a century later

Notice on that golden shot of the Twins you can see 3 World Trade Center just starting to rise. Might’ve been one of the first things you noticed, but I also noticed that the crane to build the thicker spire is still on the roof of 1 WTC
