New York City is eternally evolving. From its iconic skyline to its side alleys; the new is perpetually being built on the debris of the past. But a movement to preserve the city�s vanishing landscapes has emerged. For nearly twenty years; Frank Jump has been documenting the fading ads that are visible; but less often seen; all over New York. Disappearing from the sides of buildings or hidden by new construction; these signs are remnants of lost eras of New York�s life. They weave together the city�s unique history; culture; environment and society and tell the stories of the businesses; places and people whose lives transpired among them � the story of New York itself. This photo-documentary is also a study of time and space; of mortality and living; as Jump�s campaign to capture the ads mirrors his own struggle with HIV. Experience the ads � shot with vintage Kodachrome film � and the meaning they carry through acclaimed photographer and urban documentarian Frank Jump�s lens.

McDonaldAs a lifelong film buff; and an Italian-American; I am drawn to both these talented individuals; appreciate the works of both; and deeply enjoy the insights into Martin Scorsese provided by Roger Ebert.
