This blog is dedicated to my collection of personal NYC photos. As a film student and a young writer/photographer in the 1990's, I always carried a camera with me. You will find here over 1000 images of long gone NYC landmarks, transformed locations and NY street scenes all taken between 1991 and 1998. High quality prints are available for purchase - Contact: nyc1990s@gmail.com - All images on this blog © G.Alessandrini - Reproduction without authorization is strictly forbidden.
