Henry Street, LES 6/6/06
I am really happy about this shot, so I thought I would post it even though I have nothing to say. Then I realized I do have some, uh, well, interesting news and engendered by snaps like this one. I got asked to shoot an East Village dive bar's rather famously nasty and grafittied bathrooms--a sort of portraiture as it were--for display at said bar.
Apparently my work was thought of while the bathrooms were getting their demi-annual hosing down. Well, it's nice to know my aesthetic is so closely aligned with human waste. I'll try to live up to the challenge. Stay tuned for more!

I do say I aspire (and fail utterly) to your edgy angular aesthetic - with my casio
I'm inspired by these images - their textures move me viscerally
a public bathroom is interesting territory - it's a platform of a unique kind of physicalpoetic speech addressed and attuned to the body at its most basic and intimate
thanks rm, that is meaningful to me.
I go see the bathrooms tomorrow night! I am rather geeked about it. And a little nervous. Up to this point I shoot what I see with a few parameters. This is a bunch more limitations, and I worry nothing will coalesce. Well, we'll see...
