Ruben, Sunset Park
It took a couple of weeks, but I finally managed to take my first portrait. This is Ruben, I met him in Sunset Park last Sunday.
Honestly, this photograph was all Ruben’s idea. I was taking a picture of a storefront on 4th Avenue and he was sitting nearby—he actually came up and introduced himself to me. He asked if I would take a picture with him and his lottery tickets. I was completely floored and just went along with it.
October Polaroids
I have been using the SX-70 quite a bit lately. Here are a few more Polaroids from the last week or so. It is interesting to me how the seasons creep in, just last week felt like summer and now there are dead leaves on the ground and the sun is hiding by 5:30. So it goes.
More Polaroids
It’s been a good week for the Polaroid pictures, which is good, because I’m running out of film. I have been slowly but surely fine-tuning my gallery of Brooklyn Polaroid images, with a focus on a tighter edit and also thinking quite a bit about sequence. I think I need about a dozen more images and then I’ll be ready to make one of these.
