Please join me in welcoming @terrorbirdmedia ton @Instagram! 🐣👯🙆 Decided to help their archive by tagging all the photos I took at their wonderful #CMJ showcase at Cake in the LES (will be updating with tags and proper credits - ongoing edit)

Love 😻to see how my raw images get interpreted by the artists 🎨💃themselves. I call it the Louis CK method: Basically give away your stuff away (he made a ‪#‎million‬ in 12 days with this theory) 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰 And I've since adapted that to asking to be credited. Seeing how others interpret my photos helps inform my eye for the next time I photograph them. I am so appreciative to all that I've learned through this endeavor- and for all of the people who contributed by entertaining a whole range and host of peculiar questions from me.

Stir it up. Feeling pretty great about the day after seeing this nugget🐶. The #bobmarley #doppelgänger reminded me of the great back patio open mic at Sayra's yesterday. Was so nice to hear people come together, outside, to enjoy the day and talent of others. Omaesh played "Is This Love", on a borrowed guitar, straight off the bus from my of state, #FL #727 #springbreakers #stpetebeach #mermaids #imissfrenchys And is currently helping out Patrick, by being there as the internet gent does his work. This is the power in communities that know one another's needs. Welcome back, Omaesh! rockawaysummer , we are so happy you're on your way! (at Sayra's Wine Bar)

"You're my first portrait of the day!"-Marvin, en route to #UnionSquare for today's protest. Instead of just peeping🙈👀 and creeping👥 on his sign, I asked him about it. And then his name. And how I could help. #anatomyofconversation 📬p.s. Does anyone in the city🗽🌉have a camera 🎥📷📹📼that I can borrow to photograph the protest (en route to an interview and don't have mine)? Have sd cards on me and can return immediately after! #crowdsource #atrain #protest

Just found this scarf that my cousin's wife gave me long ago. Have loved it, even though I don't understand it. There's kind of a beauty, in that. Don't you think?

What social capital are we missing out on by people having to overcome all kinds of bullshit to even be able to live their lives? If those reserves of energy could instead be dedicated to innovation, what might we accomplish? #isaidit

Ease into the week. #beachtowns #rockawaybeach #danceparty (at Whit's End)
