Brian is one of the hardest working street film photographers in New York City. I love his ability to curate photo carousels with linear narrative themes. He captures authentic moments that happened just behind you. His work is a reminder that New York is alive and odd in all the right places when you aren’t looking. Sometimes when he leaves the Fantasy office in Williamsburg, he walks to Harlem just to take pictures along the way. I’ve seen some of his unreleased projects and you’ll be doing yourself a favor if you follow along too.

this is my favorite instagram account, anonymously run by a (beloved) nyc photographer. essentially he’s put up stickers for this phone number all over the city and collected thousands of images. I didn’t realize who ran it and when I figured it out it was extremely relieving to know he and I share so many ideas about what makes good art, which we never talked about, but it was obvious from looking at the images he shares.

like i said in my other post i don’t know many photographers, but she is another one that comes to mind. sometimes they all fit a theme or tell a story. i think a common misconception of various visual art forms is that portraying the “mundane” = not art/boring/nothing special etc and i think the popularity of her instagram page shows how artfully she is able to capture something as ”simple” as strangers on their commute and turn them into something so engaging

I first met Sinna when the New York Times sent him up to Montana to photograph me for a piece during the pandemic. He spends most of time doing documentary photography and photojournalism, and was in the middle of covering the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally when he got the assignment. I feel like he brings a fly-on-the-wall, investigative quality to his portraits, and a portrait-like staging to his images of plane spotters, Met Gala afterparties and Las Vegas architecture. I’ve always aspired to collide mainstream and underground approaches, but he makes it look effortless. His instagram is also a constant stream of fascinating candid clips and observations.

I’ve been following Juan Wuaters (The Beets) solo efforts for a few years now, and he continues to stay in rotation. His new album Real Life Situations (Captured Tracks) explores multiple genres and was made during isolation in 2020 quarantine. Favorites are “Locura” and “Presentation”.

There’s simply no other Key Lime Pie. Whenever I’m in Red Hook I always stop by Steve’s for a cup of coffee, pie to go, and a walk down the pier. I try to bring a Steve’s pie to functions and birthdays with friends. Always a crowd pleaser. Go get some pie!

I was renting a house upstate around Ashokan Reservoir and stumbled on this almond butter at a local grocery store. It’s nothing but almonds! The branding is terrible but it’s the best almond butter I’ve ever had. It’s not too creamy or thick, filled with fine chunks of fresh almonds. When I returned home it was hard to find, so I ordered a case online. If you’ve never tried a dollop of almond butter on a spoon and with a single green grape – I’ll see you on the other side.
