I wandered outside on the Monday before Hurricane Sandy smacked New York City. I didn’t dare to go too far from my house, so I just walked over to the esplanade in the 30’s. The Hudson was starting to overflow its banks, and it was raining like crazy… sideways. I thought that it was appropriate to process them all in high contrast monochrome.
Pro skater Eric Koston recently teamed up with Oakley to design three models of new shades. The launch party was held on NYC’s LES at the EV Standard.
The Parisian brand A.P.C. recently opened a new store on W. 4th Street. I was able to shoot their new location, as well as the opening soiree. This is my favorite sequence of the set.
The famous Bowery mural space was ritualistically whitewashed over the weekend, in preparation for the latest installment in a long series of famed street artists. The past few days, Retna has been affixing his signature brand of scrit. This is how it looked on Tueday night, March 6th.
I probably wouldn’t normally post photos of a retail space on this blog. But, I thought that the new Rothman’s was so dope that I really wanted to share. It is a homegrown NYC business that has been around for longer than most of us have been alive. It recently moved from it’s spot on the north end of Union Square to a location on Park Ave. S. and 18th (not far from the former spot). Here is a little more detail on the business, in the Selectism coverage.
