And to follow the images from Part 1, we took a quick walk through the Arboretum, before heading back to the city to view the fireworks on the Hudson River. Pretty epic. The following day, I met up with some friends at Beach 98 in Far Rockaway for a day of nothing. Perfect.

Just three and a half hours north of New York, the craziest flea market happens three times per year. On monday night, we drove up to the Quality Inn in Auburn, MA to rest for a few hours before heading to the shows at Brimfield. The Brimfield Shows are happening through the weekend. We’d been told that if you really want to find the best stuff you have to go on the first day; and while running around like wild animals, we ran into friends with the same motivation trying to find things before the prop stylists, the set builders, the J. Crew’s, Ralph Lauren’s, and Tommy Hilfiger’s. The turn-out was pretty incredible; it is the physical manifestation of eBay. I feel that more than ever people are looking for things that have longevity and history as opposed to things that are pre-fabricated and ill-constructed. Although I never really buy much while I’m there, it’s worth going just to witness the spectacle. These are some of the things I found there just walking around.

This has been a hectic trip so far. It seems like it’s mostly been travel, whether it’s a car, bus, or plane. It was almost a full day on an airplane. Just getting here has been a trip and it’s going to be mostly fulfilling family duties before any real fun starts. It also occurred to me that I’ll pretty much only be around Asians for the next three weeks which is always fun to experience again. I’m already starting to shoot some things that will be of more interest in future posts.

This is something I wanted to do for awhile. Martha is amazing. The whole thing is bonkers. I’d never been in or seen a studio audience before, except for that time when I was shooting on a sound stage by the Family Feud in L.A. The set, the kitchen, the smells, the cheering women. We stuck out like sore thumbs. I’m even like, “what??!!! did that really happen?” It did. She gave us plant food and a gift certificate. Palazzo and I were the only guys there, except for this guy who stood up when asked where you were from and he yelled out, “Montreal.” I’d never seen so many Chimera softboxes in my whole life. Creamy lighting. That’s all I can say. Woah.

Thursday evening, Wool and the Gang opened a new shop / studio on Thompson St. between Prince and Spring here in New York. I shot the space during their opening for Coolhunting. My friend Kenyan Lewis of BYKENYAN was there to view his newly installed sign hanging outside. He also installed a wooden ladder and created stools for the shop. You can read about the store and the company HERE.

This is a building I’ve photographed a lot over the years, but never like this. On Friday night, Tanlines and Yeasayer performed at the Guggenheim Museum for the It Came From Brooklyn Concert Series. Having press access to the space really helped out in terms of getting to where I needed to be. The stage was situated at the foot of the rotunda in the lobby, surrounded by the Kandinsky exhibition. Both performances were out of this world, and the ambient light only lent itself to my color treatment on these images. I’d like to thank Jesse from Tanlines for the press pass and invitation, and the Guggenheim staff for being so accomodating. I’m really proud of Eric and Jesse from Tanlines; they played great and on a very special stage. Also, big ups to Ira from Yeasayer, who also put on a great performance.

Restless People led off the night with their second show of the day for the True Panther showcase at Piano’s. Restless People killed it, followed by equally amazing sets by Janka Nabay, Glasser, Delorean, and Lemonade, respectively. I’m not really a fan of live performance photographs but if anything, it’s a good exercise. Josh Haner, a staff photographer for the New York Times, was also there at the show, and he does it much better. Check out his CMJ portfolios on the New York Times website. His photo of Delorean is below. Lastly, I’d like to thank Dean for curating one of the best shows of the week.

Telephoned is a collaboration between my friend Sammy Bananas (Fool’s Gold) and singer Maggie Horn. They played a CMJ show this week In Greenpoint, Brooklyn, and I was feeling the music and the lighting.

Last night, Yacht played live at the DFA CMJ Party at Brooklyn Bowl. They killed it. It was a black and white affair.
