Hey Sart,you’re not in Sao Paulo?This photo makes me think about the crises… did you like Sao Paulo?cause it’s a very difficult city,without personality
Hey..you’re lurking in my workhood! Hope you’re catching some of the great style of the neighbors as they head off to work! I look forward to seeing more of the LES through your lens
Hi!! I´m waiting to see some pictures of Sao Paulo! I really like your work and the ideas you use to give in your blog and I want to see some of my city!
Great photograph. I love afternoon sunlight. That pattern is awesome. More building exteriors should have fun patterns and colours, it would really brighten up the world.
This photo is so incredible. It’s so mysterious. I absolutely love how awkward the framing is. Between two windows. Not really showing any one thing directly, yet showing a very real four feet of the world. I love love love it. This is the kind of photo that inspires a short story. xo! D
As Leonard Cohen, Canadian poet-singer-songwriter extraordinaire, sang: “there’s music on clinton street all through the evening….” Thank you for capturing some of this mythic street’s magic with your lens.
I’m almost as fascinated by the response to the photo as the photo itself. It’s interesting to me that the woman in the photo is so judged by what she ornaments her body with in such a harsh way. I think your readership thinks a bit much of itself. You know, in the end we are all pavement my friends. Pavement. Those names might mean more to her than your designer duds will ever mean to you or anyone else.
Thanx for showing us the rest of the world you see. An appropriate response to those who say you stage everything with fashion shoot leftovers.
Jeez Scott, It was just as much fun reading everybody’s reactions to your photo, as it was to look at it. I love you all over again (in a non-stalker, non-weird kind of way). xo
Ditto what Daphne said. I like the juxtaposition between the circles and square shapes, and the depth. Also, I keep looking at the person inside but I’m not sure what I’m seeing.
I think one of the best things you captured in this pic Sart, is the dimly lit "I <3 NY" bags on the right side. I also like that the composition is different than most of your photos (and it's unique in and of itself), prob because your not trying to show an outfit – but the change is nice.
East Village( far east, Ave. C) and L.E.S. still has some of that raw NYC flavor. You captured it well in this photo! And from reading the comments so far, it seems like people are responding well to this different type of imagery. Great photograph!
woooow – i think this is the best photo you’ve ever posted. not that it’s much about fashion but the storytelling and the room it creates for imagination is enormous.
I love that you’re starting to pair your photos with more of your thoughts. You used to do this a lot and then went to photos only. I like knowing what the photographer was thinking.
And about Sao Paulo… it really depends on where Scott goes, because in some places the people dress all like each other. So Scott, if you want to capture stylish men and women do not stay in the mall!
The restaurant facade in this photo was painted for the Julie Taymor movie, “Across the Universe.” The film used Clinton and Rivington Street for a set. They painted facades and doors up and down the two streets. It’s a great movie.
There’s a women similar to her around here in Pennsylvania. Only instead of I assume her children’s names on her back, she had tats of her children’s faces…
Um, yeah. To each their own. Anyway, thanks for sharing this side of New York. It almost pays a nostalgic glance of the LES used to be like.
Wow. Friedlander in colour … with attitude!! I LOVE this shot. The fonts, the signage, the light … seriously one of my favorite photos in so long. (Not just yours .. I'm talking the photography world in general.) I want to hear Danzinger's take on it … Did I mention Wow?
