Recently found treasure and the photos are just amazing from a guy named Frank Oscar Larson, who did it only as a hobby.

Great! I love thos retro urban images.
Probably this comes from the times I first saw some images from the film Metropolis.

Thanks for sharing

Glad you like it. Brando's Waterfront is one of my fave of his films and when I saw that Times Square shot, it immediately got me. The projection and the timing on every shot is just marvellous.

Fantastic, buda!

How many walked by that reflection in the puddle and never looked down? What a beautiful photo.

And that Judy Garland marquee.....it looks like the pigeons are all waiting in line for the premier!
