Photography's greatest ability is to freeze a moment in time. This old newsstand at the 82nd Street Jackson Heights subway station in Queens was photographed in 1970. I remember the shot like i remember most of the better shots I have ever taken. The camera was the Canon FT with the 50mm F 1.4 Canon FL lens. The film was, naturally, Tri-X. But what intrigues me is that perhaps neither of the two subjects may not be be alive any longer. The cat is certainly dead now. Yet this moment lives forever. And, the NY Post was only 15 cents.
