Weber
Matt Weber's next show will be at: the Pierre Menard Gallery in Cambridge. I put this in the blog because he's a friend and a talented photographer. "Talented photographer" is a banal phrase but it's the best I can do right now.
Looking for Seat
I've been having problems with my scanner lately. I've been scanning in straight street shots but they keep coming out with these surreal patterns. I called Lester to come over and fix it but he said there was nothing wrong with it and the picture looked correct to him.
Fifth Avenue Escalator
This actually began as another homage to Feininger, but I couldn't leave well enough alone.
Memphis Man
Okay - the backstory: this was on the corner of 23rd and 6th. Used to be a parking lot there.
I often stop to talk to street musicians before photographing them. I asked him where he was from and he told me Memphis. He had that hard Muddy Waters sound. I asked if he could play Crossroads and he paused for a second (this shot) and then began to play the Johnson Crossroads. I stopped and listened without taking any other shots. He was the real thing. I gave him a few dollars, walked on to work, and never saw him again.
