New York: The Vintage poster store.

I like to avoid white space; my room at university is covered in endless photographs, pictures from magazines, and my all time favourite collectables-postcards. I need to have something to constantly look as it always seems to give me ideas for a piece of work I am given. On our walk to the Meatpacking district, we noticed a vintage poster shop. Posters lined the windows which completely drew us in, and we were happily welcomed by two men who owned the shop. They showed us many different posters and postcards, and vintage journals on photography and various other art related topics. We were told to take a journal and to choose between a collection of posters which we could take home for free- it was amazing to meet two people that were so passionate about what they sold, and they loved the fact that we were visiting from England. I bought around twenty postcards in that particular shop which they both seemed extremely pleased about. It was an amazing way to begin the day- basically Americans are just brilliant.
