I processed the film, but never printed any of it. The negatives sat in a Kodak box on my shelf for almost 30 years, when on a whim, I decided to scan them and see what was there.<\/p>\n<p>I was stunned to discover &#8212; or rediscover &#8212; an exquisitely decrepit New York utterly devoid of people and traffic.
