analoge NY1

How did the world looked like before image-google?
Things, where named.
With words.

words!..languages!..confusion!..ChAOS!

Except in a corner of the 3th floor of the New York Public Library at Bryant Park. In this little corner you will find the picture gallery. Real cardboard files with real paper images. Every image cut out from books, magazines, advertising and nicely put into categories.
I love this place very much. Every time I go there I am so scared they've closed it. But there's always people there at the big table surrounded with image-files.

this is the file "manholes"
