The New York Sartorialist Is Shot

So imagine the scene. I'm taking photos, or trying, of potential subjects for the New York Sartorialist blog. I'm positioning my subject for the shot, I have a cameraman shooting film positioning me and a photographer, Mark Fisher, giving orders to position it all in one still frame. And repeat... All on a busy sidewalk in SOHO. Just in a days work. The good news is that we have tangible evidence of the madness with some select photos below (a couple of MY subject shots shown in the New York Sartorialist). Why? More will be revealed :-)  Enjoy!

Starbucks Will Never Die

Starbucks. SOHO. New York City. Saturday afternoon. Always a zoo, whether it's a Thursday morning or a rainy Saturday afternoon like today. When typically busy, the average wait just to go to the restroom is 20 minutes, sometimes shorter, sometimes longer. The more efficient line to get your drink is 5-15 minutes. Although large with perhaps 25 tables, it can take 15 minutes of waiting like a bird of prey to get a seat. Need a power outlet for the laptop? Double that wait. At least. Aren't we in a recession? Perhaps the worst since the Great Depression? It doesn't matter. For $2.29, you can have enough of a caffeine fix to get you through... more if you like yours from the coffee bar (upwards of $5.00). Even when times are tight, an exorbitant number of the faithful can find that next bit of change to get their fix and perhaps have a place to roost... if they don't mind waiting.

BLT Gallery Reception

The BLT Gallery Opening Reception for Gerald Dearing and Steve Pyke's exhibit, "Matter of Fact" with the beautiful Kate Secor who was charming enough to extend me an invitation.
