These photographs by Steven Siegel (I read this as Steven Seagal at first) are a must see today. See how I didn’t refer to them as pictures. That’s because these photographs are a work of art. Siegel captures the true grittiness of the 80′s that have been forgotten in the Disney era of NYC of today.

It’s the music by Bernard Herrmann (1911-1975) from the Taxi Driver OST.
Here are my favorites:
Plus, there’s a shit ton more to view on this flickr page. Give yourself a good 15 minutes to experience this awesomesauce.
