GEORGE’S BEL AIR by CHRISTOPHER LANGE
George is another one of the Meatpacking District’s characters. Outside the dark playground of the District, he works as one of those guys that puts up billboards all over the city.
He has a classic car collection, and he brings one down to Pastis every weekend. This one in particular used to belong to his father. Sadly, his dad passed away this past summer, so I ended up making a small print of this photograph for him, and brought to him on my way in to Pastis one night in July.
A friendly sort, George is open to talk to just about anyone about just about anything, though his car is usually the subject. It isn’t unusual to see him providing an unofficial…”taxi” service at the end of the night, either.

EASTBOUND by CHRISTOPHER LANGE
A grin slipped across my face as I craned my neck to look up into the viewfinder of my Rollei. I was holding it out the sunroof of my friend’s car, upside down so I could look up onto the ground glass, and was praying that a five-hundredth at twenty-two would be enough to tame the violently bright sun.
There was so much drag that the camera felt like it wanted to fly out of my hands, and for a moment I was scared that it would. The last thing I wanted was to look out the window and see my little Rolleiflex explode on contact with the pavement, the parts splattered across the highway as if it were a piñata hit by a Jeep at 80mph.
I circled the strap around my wrist one more time, just to make sure.
