Store Front II: A History Preserved is a new photobook from local photographers and historians James and Karla Murray that seeks to document the storefronts of disappearing Mom-and-Pop stores in New York City.
Store Front II chronicles their continued efforts to document a little-known but vitally important cross-section of New York's Mom and Pop economy. The Murrays' penetrating photographs are only half the story, though. In the course of their travels throughout the city's boroughs the Murrays have taken great care to document the stories behind the scenery.
Store Front II: A History Preserved is available for purchase on Amazon.
