'To us, they are everything. I mean, what makes neighborhoods in New York City unique is their mom-and-pop stores.'
"To us, they are everything. I mean, what makes neighborhoods in New York City unique is their mom-and-pop stores."The project began quite by accident in the 1990s. Husband-and-wife photography team James and Karla Murray were exploring the streets of New York, documenting graffiti murals before they disappeared. It was during their travels that they began to notice -- and admire -- the vintage mom-and-pop storefronts that still dotted the streets of the city.
It was the aesthetics of these places, of course, that first captivated them, James Murray said, but it was only when they stepped inside the stores, and got to know the proprietors, and the stories behind those eye-catching facades, that they truly grasped how significant and overlooked these humble storefronts were.
Indeed, more than 50 percent of the shops showcased in this book still exist, and as Karla Murray said, they await your patronage.
