From its iconic skyline to its side alleys, the new is perpetually being built on the debris of the past. But a movement to preserve the city\u2019s vanishing landscapes has emerged. For nearly 20 years, Frank Jump has been documenting the fading ads that are visible, but less often seen, all over New York. Disappearing from the sides of buildings or hidden by new construction, these signs are remnants of lost eras of New York\u2019s life. They weave together the city\u2019s unique history, culture, environment and society and tell the stories of the businesses, places and people whose lives transpired among them \u2013 the story of New York itself. Fading Ads is also a study of time and space, of mortality and living, as Jump\u2019s campaign to capture the ads mirrors his own struggle with HIV. Experience the ads\u2014shot with vintage Kodachrome film\u2014and the meaning they carry through acclaimed photographer and urban documentarian Frank Jump\u2019s lens.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"description\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wordbrooklyn.com\/event\/fading-ads-greenpoint-walking-tour?utm_medium=post&amp;utm_source=tumblr&amp;utm_campaign=Jump%20slideshow\" target=\"_blank\">On the March 18 walking tour and book-signing, Jump will offer a glimpse into Greenpoint\u2019s commercial advertising history through remnant fading ads<\/a>.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"description\">Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/wordbrooklyn.tumblr.com\/tagged\/Brooklyn-history\" target=\"_blank\">Brooklyn history<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/wordbrooklyn.tumblr.com\/tagged\/events\">events<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/wordbrooklyn.tumblr.com\/tagged\/guest-post\">guest post<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wordbrooklyn.tumblr.com\/post\/16413213593\/new-york-city-is-eternally-evolving-from-its\" target=\"_blank\">New York City is eternally evolving.
