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

Moving to NYC (from FL) to pursue photography and meeting amazing talented people all of the time never ceases to inspire. If you’re into/take photos please holler at me !

Sheepshead Bay is known for its terrible fishing boats, Russian espresso, money laundering and of course Randazzo’s - A 90 Year old Family Seafood institution that offers a uniquely inelegant dining experience. The walls are lined floor to ceiling with fishing relics, family portraits, gifts from regulars and Sheepshead Bay ephemera. If it came from the sea, it’s on the menu. The wait staff is made up of Sheepshead locals that aren’t there for small talk. They serve you a tiny plastic cup with your Corona and yell orders across the room to each other. Great for people watching and a great stop on your bike ride to the Rockaways. Stay away from the Scungilli and order the “Calamah”.

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!
