a.k.a. The Book of Lamentations:
a bitterly nostalgic look at a city in the process of going extinct
- Jeremiah Moss
- THE BOOK:
"We should all buy Jeremiah Moss’s book, Vanishing New York." --Sarah Jessica Parker
“Essential reading for fans of Jane Jacobs, Joseph Mitchell, Patti Smith, Luc Sante, and cheap pierogi.” --Vanity Fair
"a vigorous, righteously indignant book that would do Jane Jacobs proud." --Kirkus Reviews
THE BLOG:
"the go-to hub for those who lament New York's loss of character." --Crain's
"No one takes stock of New York's changes with the same mixture of snark, sorrow, poeticism, and lyric wit as Jeremiah Moss." --Village Voice, Best of NY
“Jeremiah Moss…is the defender of all the undistinguished hunks of masonry that lend the streets their rhythm.” --Justin Davidson, New York Magazine
"One of the most thorough and pugnacious chroniclers of New York’s blandification." --The Atlantic, Citylab
"Hyperbolic and combative, tireless and passionate." --Salon
Great photos, Jeremiah. Several people around me watching the blaze were like, "these guys are fucking amazing..."
ReplyDeleteLove that third shot. Well done.
ReplyDeletethanks. these guys really were fucking amazing.
ReplyDeleteGreat coverage guys! What caused the fire??
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Nice to see these guys captured and glad to know they're OK. They're heroes everyday and largely go unnoticed.
ReplyDeletea lot of people were taking their pictures. they were very photogenic. not sure how they felt about the attention, though.
ReplyDeleteNew York's Bravest, indeed
ReplyDeleteI was walking by around 6 p.m. It was really quite amazing - the fire dept. response and the fire itself (tho' it was mostly major billowing smoke at that point). Can't believe you were there somewhere in the crowd Jeremiah!
ReplyDeletewonderful pix. and hooray for the EMPTY medical stretcher in the background.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos-what kind of camera and lens are you using??
ReplyDeletemy camera is a little Canon Elph, some sort of point and shoot. nothing fancy.
