Some Archive Shiz

Going through the archive, I need to put some more work up on the site. So I’m sorting, editing, occasionally weeping from memories I buried. You know the deal. 

So I ran across this one from when I was commissioned by the Huffington Post to photograph the Siren Festival in Coney Island back in 2010. Shit, where does time go?

It was kind of a disaster. The people in charge didn’t get me my press pass, luckily someone at the village voice took mercy on me and let me into the press pen. I don’t know what happened to the images after I sent them, but when they were published they looked corrupted. Then finally, the HuffPo didn’t pay to use my shots. 

Yeah, I know, bullshit, but back then, not paying was sort of their thing. 

I particularly like this shot. It’s of Kamara Thomas from Earl Greyhound. I’m not sure if I’m going to use it in a gallery, but it would be a shame to let it go to waste.
