This Photographer Took Pictures Of New Yorkers In The 2000s That Are Split Up Into Two Categories, Shoppers And Workers (30 Pics)

Kind of haunting to see this picture and think of what was to come the following year

Prima.

This man has always had such great style. Famous writer, if you're not aware, currently 91 years of age: https://www.randomhouse.com/kvpa/talese/

very stylish letter carrier

would wear those pants today!

laura looks like a glam-ma!

Betcha Sal could tell you a tale or two.

I pray this is 2002. ❤

This woman has the face and bearing of a queen.

Strong Joan Collins vibe from the gal on the left. Both look very stylish.

Nice suit bro

You could teleport Vera to 1940s and she would've blended right in with her outfit. Very retro vibe.

Primos

She looks like she pronounces baby like "bébé" 😂

That’s my name!

At first, I though Mike had a red balloon.

She looks like me :')

Oh, the disdain of youth is strong with these two! And they're all arms and legs, aren't they?

Yassar doesn't seem very proud of his career. Chin up, buddy, life will get better! Well, you might want to watch out for 2020, but that's a long way off, chillax.

wow

that coat is perfection.

It's "messenger", though.

Louis will knock you down, handcuff you, and march you to jail with a massive grin on his face. This man loves his work.

Ramon has more dignity in his little finger than most folks could ever muster.

Looks like Gena Rowlands in Gloria.

Ummm, okay, whatever turns your crank, Cathy. Seems a tad restrictive to me (and, you know, animaly!).

He's sad cause his cone lights are so small

Pachuco vibes!!

Man, I can feel the starch in that collar.

I love her hair with the glasses!

One of the pickle guys from CROSSING DELANCY.

Gregory graduated from NYU. Went on to medical school and became a surgeon.

Very stylish

Another queen in disguise. Her bearing is quite regal.

when the meatpacking was still meatpacking?

I absolutely love this person's bag, I love bowling bags

Laura's trying too hard. And is that a peek of ruffle I see under the jacket? Undo that button, girl, free the ruffle!

Sal will do you a pizza you will never forget, he's that good.

I love John, I don't know if he's a millionaire or a beggar who stole a fat dead guys suit. but I want to know more ❤️ Either way we can get the dress from the window behind him and run off together...I look fabulous in red 🍒

So, after you get a haircut from Sal, get your car fixed by Sal and grab a pizza from Sal while you wait. All Sals all the time!

Philip will faithfully drive his bus through any weather, making sure you get to your destination no matter what.

Not a big fan of the is-it-a-slip-or-part-of-the-dress look.

ooh I remember those shiny tights that made your legs look oily :)
