Since 1977, Camilo Jose Vergara has
taken pictures of a single Harlem storefront, wedged in on the
north side of 65 East 125th Street between Madison and Park Avenues. Harlem
has seen a lot of change, especially on 125th Street. "The mom-and-pops moved
out; the corporate chains have moved in. There is more money on 125th
Street, but less that is vivid, less that is unique," says Vergara. The
photos show the years 1977, 1980, 1983, 1988, 1990, 1992, 1994, 1997, 1998,
199, 2001, and 2004.
