Since the 1970's, a flea market has existed in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of New York City, at West 39th Street. It is home to oddities and curiosities from around the world, brought to this place by the myriad of New Yorkers and visitors who have come and gone from literally everywhere. Over the years, many celebrities have walked the market to pass the time and to find unusual keepsakes to add to their unique finds. While no celebrities were spotted on our recent visit (October, 2010), the variety and strangeness of the place was certainly up to expectations Following are photographs and digital enhancements of items and scenes from New York City's flea market at Hell's Kitchen. While most of the images retain their original or embellished colors, old fashioned black and white photography was also used to highlight the contrast in light, texture and form where advantageous. All of these images are available in limited edition prints for purchase at the authors' gallery - West Shore Gallery in Wormleysburg, Pennsylvania.

Since moving to Wormleysburg, Pennsylvania in November, 2009, Lawrence and Tammi have grown to love their adopted hometown. In August of 2010 they opened the West Shore Gallery at 100 South Front Street in the borough. As of this writing, it is Wormleysburg's only fine art gallery and photography studio. During their many short trips to and from their home to the gallery, the couple began to appreciate more and more the natural and architectural beauty of the area, They decided to use their talent as photographers and digital artists to create this little time capsule of the town.
