The New York Times asked me to create a 6-second Vine video about an issue in advance of the recent mayoral primary. I chose Stop and Frisk. As a tall man of color who favors baseball caps I often feel the effects of my presence when walking around the city, particularly at night. Many people move away; police move closer. Here’s one story.
A couple weeks ago, the team at The Color Machine got together to take our first official “family portrait.” And boy were the chair puns flowing. One of my favorites came when we first arrived to the room of chairs and hadn’t built the wall yet. Jordan said, “have a seat.”
I’ve challenged myself to create a new poster or design for How to Steal every month. I’ve already put a couple over on the tumblr blog but this one is hot off the presses.
Over the course of a couple weeks the team at The Color Machine and I tromped all across New York gathering footage. The assignment from the Municipal Art Society was to create a “love letter” to the city, to visually interpret the theme livability. There were too many locations to count, and too much of the city was left out. But it’s what gets left in that counts. Enjoy.
Been shooting all over town recently. Two of my best shots this year happened on the same day. The camera almost aims itself sometimes.
