Roebling Tea Room Brunch, Brooklyn, January 2011. Byron was sweating the waitress he’s had his eye on for months. You were sitting over my right shoulder at another table. I remember green somewhere in the frame catching my eye. Now I’m not sure what that was.  I didn’t notice how striking you were until weeks later. I knew it would be good. I didn’t know you’d be so good though. Another reason I love film. Hope to see you again, lady.

Polishing Shit 

Just one more post of this series…….

Lens flares and pubic hairs: this might be the dirtiest negative I’ve ever had to clean. Hairs and stuff aren’t bad but there’s all sorta subtle monsters lurking around in there.

Justin Carter, DJ, Ft. Greene Park, Brooklyn. Got together with the Mister Saturday Night guys for a portrait session. Justin was so-so about his pedo-glasses for press shots. I for one think they’re just beautiful. Shot on Mamiya RZ67 loaded with Kodak 400NC.

Dirty scan. Brooklyn lovers. It was Kim and Lucie’s last night in Brooklyn. Tomorrow they were to return to Paris. I wanted a photoshoot before they left. Something very formal. So I sat them down in their S. 4th abode. When I showed up they were doing final touch ups on the apartment before moving out: mopping, wiping the stove down, packing their suitcases, returning the plastic jesus statue lamp to its original spot in the living room; the place came pre-furnished. It was tuesday evening. I headed over straight from work with little time to plan. They were looking great as they tend to do, but something was missing. The mirror was in place. I liked that placement, but early on I shot to avoid my reflection. As we went, something wasn’t clicking. By the time we got to what you see here, things picked up. It’s a reflection of Kim’s personality. Those who know Kim know someone’s clothes always come off around him. The shots only got worse. This here taken early in the night; PG13. R Negatives to come. Test shot. Fuji FP100C, shitty Polaroid scan. Mamiya RZ67.
