I took this particular photo a week or so ago while I was walking home from grocery shopping in Chinatown. Quite a bit of downtown Manhattan is being modernized so this little pocket of Canal Street really struck a chord with me since in that particular moment it seemed to possess a timeless quality. There is something about this scene that recalls the New York City of the 1980s.
