scopOphilic_micromessaging_1588 - scopOphilic1997 presents a new micro-messaging series: small, subtle, and often unintentional messages we send and receive verbally and non-verbally. (2025)

The next 7 days of images are the product of a cold winter walk from the West Village to the East Village in Manhattan. It's not as colorful as Brooklyn. But has its own unique character.

Eugene Gordon’s New York is Everyone’s New York.

A document of New York City during the 1970s and 1980s, the Eugene Gordon Photograph Collection is a generous catalog of the vibrancy and grit of the era, from immigrant communities to Times Square sex shops; gay pride and women’s liberation movements to law and order. A Forest Hills resident, Gordon’s borough of Queens is richly represented, but he clearly made it a priority to visit as much of the city as possible.

above images: East Village; East Village, St. Mark’s Place; Harlem, Lenox Avenue. Selling fortune telling & astrological supplies; Times Square area rooms by the week, day or hour.

I love you. You’re my lady fair. No matter where I am, I think of you! The mountains and the valleys cannot compare, my love to you Loisaida, I love you. I dig the way you talk, I dig the way you look. Me vacila tu cantar y yo me las juego fria pa’ que vivas para siempre. En mi mente, mi amada, yo te llamo Loisaida Increible una mezcla, la perfecta una gente bien decente de to ‘as rasas que estiman que te adoran que no saben explicar lo que le pasa cuando ausente de tus calles peligrosas si te aman A ti, mi hermosa Loisaida O what a town….. even with your drug-infested pocket parks, playgrounds where our young bloods hang around waiting, hoping that one day when they too get well and smile again your love is all they need to come around. Loisaida, I love you. Your buildings are burning up that we got to stop. Loisaida, my love, Te amo.

Bimbo Rivas, Loisaida (1974)
