Ready for the Weekend? Part I

One night, well actually a few nights, I put on eyeliner and was definitely going to go out until it became time to go out, when i realized that no, no, I was definitely going to stay in, because the city is so far away. But friends pulled my out of my house, although I was mumbling about things-I-have-to-do-in-the-morning and griping at the train and hating the whole idea until I was past the line and inside the club where suddenly I was dancing and taking pictures and having a good time just like I should.

So thanks, Prince Klassen and Chris Devlin. Here are the pictures, and you should probably listen to this while you’re looking.

I shot these for the Wall Street Journal.

Civil War Sesquicentennial

This weekend, I photographed reenactors in Brooklyn’s Green-Wood Cemetery. They set up camp, marched and answered my questions about their petticoats to commemorate the 150th anniversary (or sesquicentennial, if you prefer lots of syllables, which I do) of the Civil War. There are 4,500 Civil War veterans buried in the cemetery.

Friends at Night

Paying for dinner, bowling, eating curly fries, showing off, texting, eating again, kissing birds, and looking at a Robert Frank picture before bed: these are some of the things we did.

Win Win the Band

Here are a few pictures I took of my dear buddies, XXXChange, Chris Devlin, and DJ Ghostdad. They called me up and I went down the hill to quickly take these pictures of them in their digital creation: Win Win!

Beach Clean-up

I went to the Bayside Anglers Waterfront Day 17th Annual Little Neck Bay Shoreline Clean-up yesterday, where I picked up a million plastic bottle caps and photographed some fishermen and girl scouts.

“Hope or Hype in Harlem” Wins NEWA Award

The National Education Writers Association awarded City Limits’Hope or Hype in Harlem?” second prize in the small market investigative category.

I took most of the photos in the magazine, which gave me an opportunity to take photographs and talk to teenagers, two things I love to do.

Brooklyn Winery

Here are some photos I took of the Brooklyn Winery for the Wall Street Journal. Customers get to learn about wine, crush grapes, and check up on their wine throughout the year – and then they get to take it home and drink it!

Battle of Brooklyn

Back in August, I photographed Battle of Brooklyn reenactors at the Green-Wood Cemetery in Sunset Park, Brooklyn for the Wall Street Journal. It was a hot day (remember those?) and the re-enactors marched, shot a cannon, and laid a wreath in memory of Battle of Brooklyn soldiers.
