Photographers Capture 'Disappearing Face' of New York City Storefronts
For better or for worse, New York City is constantly evolving.
Photographers James and Karla Murray noticed the unfortunate trend of storefronts disappearing over time while creating a collection of mom-and-pop facades for a book in the early-to-mid 2000s. Years later, they returned to the same stores and discovered drastic changes.

Mashable spoke with James, who explained the project was a way to clearly provide documentation of commercial changes and how that adversely affects charm of the communities.
"Until you place them side-by-side and really look at the two photos, you cannot get the true sense of loss experienced by the neighborhood," he said.
While snapping the photos, James often spoke with store owners, who frequently felt at the mercy of landlords and always-increasing rent. The stores being pushed out by the skyrocketing prices were most often replaced by chains or converted into a luxury condos.
The couple hopes that these photos will inspire more consumers to make more use of small, independent businesses. You can check out the whole gallery on their Facebook page.
