Thanksgiving Weekend 2010 (1901)

I dint have much to do for thanksgiving as my family is abroad so I thought of doing something different. I went back in time. I took a couple of photographs from the hat project and I traveled in the New York of the early XXth century, I think it was around 1901, just at the turn of the century. Very cold that year in November. I had an exact address. I went to the Camera Club of New York, on Twenty-ninth street. Mr. Steichen, the photographer, happened to be there so I met him, I told him about the hat project and I showed my prints. He didn't like it at all but he told me I could at least improve the printing. You know, I went with a digital print! very flat and no texture. Mrs Steichen was then working with the gum bichromate printing technique which I loved. He took a picture of my prints with his large format camera and we printed the shots using this cool process. Please see the result below.
Before coming back I got a coffee from a street cart, very nice.
