November 17, 2004: Movable Hype Slow Synchro Flash
Jen Carlson and the Gothamist Arts and Events staff organized a great show last night at the Knitting Factory. Jen has all the details and relevant thank-yous for the events back at Gothamist, so I will confine my remarks to speaking about the photographs above. Some have accused me of specifically trying to take pictures that make people look weird. Quite the contrary: I believe my pictures capture the inner-beauty of each subject. The weirdness comes from the subject themselves- that's the face they were born with! [Related: more pictures from Movable Hype- see if you can spot all your favorites!]
an extra special thanks to lockhart steele- who not only allowed me to photograph him looking silly, but also saved me from a thorough pummeling at the hands of an irate bouncer. not that i couldn't have taken that guy- i totallllllly could have.
it's a good day when you don't have your picture up on jake's site....
Ha. Those are great. You must bring out the best in people.
more details on the bouncer story, please
