THEN and NOW...

Everybody knows the story of The Clash playing 17 nights in a row at Bond's International Casino in Times Square instead of their original 5 nights, but it's a great story, and makes for a fitting lead into my exciting "THEN and NOW..." photo series. I found a nice old picture of Bond's, and then went up to Times Square with my camera and tried to replicate the shot, but in its current form (obviously). Due to the limitations of my S.U.X. 2000 camera (i do have the PEN15 module) i wasn't able to capture THE EXACT angle of the old shot but as you know it's illegal to take pictures in Times Square so i feel lucky to be able to bring you this at all.
So...

Bond's THEN...



And NOW... (where the swatch emporium is..)
