The Fifth Avenue from Start to Finish photographs (2014-2018), taken by Long Island-based freelance photographer Dominick Kosciuk, consist exclusively of black and white and color digital images that document New York's Fifth Avenue and expand the visual record of the evolution of Manhattan's built environment. Inspired by the 1911 book, Fifth Avenue, New York: From Start to Finish featuring images taken by Burton F. Welles, Kosciuk created contemporary views of each block in a similar style and composition as Welles' photographs taken a century earlier.
