Judging by the colors in this photo it must have been super early in the morning, no doubt coming home on a Sunday morning after being out of the house for two days.

This building is 33 stories high with 12 apartments on each floor.

Yes, it was a strange place to live.


I might have taken this picture in 1981 or 82 with a Canon AE-1. I'm thinking if I was out partying I might have only had my Vivtar Series 1 28mm lens on - - it was such a sweet lens. It had floating elements so the whole thing sat inside of a metal shell so the lens didn't change size."
