Often a location scout will yield fun shots that don’t end up being useful for anything else. Here are a couple, done up magazine style. These may not be direct quotes, but hey.
Literally thousands of Santas descended upon the West Village on saturday. These are just a few of them. Shot some video on a borrowd tilt/shift lens — extra wide, as you can see — but there’s nothing like a good still frame.
Sometimes New York dazzles with simplicity. I did not even buy this roast pork bun, yet it made my day happier. In another city I might not have gone to the Chinese bakery for coffee. In another city there might not have been a Chinese bakery to go to. In this city there are plenty, with ample treats besides.
This past Halloween saw team Desedo plus a few hundred of our closest friends breaking things down in Brooklyn. At some point the camera came out. We’ll call it an exercise in creativity, a night of fun captured on film… Embedded journalism! All of that to say that time marches forward. And we like to march right along beside it. At times with booze and homies.
The Monster Mash was thrown by Jamie and Debbie (whose freshly minted ghost kitty is worth a checkout too). Of course, the scariest costume of the night goes to the guy with the custom-embroidered Bed Bugs hat and strap-on mattress. Don’t wave that thing at me, buddy.
A few months ago I bought a new camera, primarily for filmmaking purposes. The surprising upshot is how often I use it to take stills. (… Duh!). There was a burst of light in the office this afternoon and… boom. This one was captured on a 28mm lens.
