Dull sky above my head as waterborne winds crashing against my face, masses of anonymous nine-to-fivers rushing past me, late for their afternoon engagements.
Through the iris of glass and steel the city reveals itself to me.
I shot this 2 summers ago, some of you who have been following me for a long time may remember seeing it.
I just revisited the negative about two weeks ago in the darkroom, made a new 18x18” print, it looks really beautiful. It’s different than this original version here, a bit lighter, with crisper tones, but the print is too big to scan…

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.
I met T-Money, a member of F-Chain, a rap group out of Philly, in Union Square over the summer. Big fan of this one.
NORTH END I by CHRISTOPHER LANGE
Brooklyn Sorachi Ace.
A fine craft brew by the venerable Brooklyn Brewery, and it’s on tap on the North End Grill in Battery Park.
If you can avoid, or don’t mind the corporate financier crowd, the NEG is a fantastic place to grab a beer and a bite.
Another from the MPD series.
