    A Disposable Adventure 2

    I’ve taken four more rolls of film since the last time I posted about disposable cameras. This time, thankfully, a majority of the photographs came out clearly. The viewfinder and the frame were off by quite a bit but I’m still really pleased with how they turned out. Most of the time what catches my eye…

  • 4Knots Music Festival, July 9th, 2016

    Crowds of people ranging from teens to the elderly were flocking around the South Street Seaport on Saturday afternoon. The 4Knots Music Festival  is a free music event brought to the public by the Village Voice for the past six years. It’s situated right by the East River where seagulls fly freely and the breeze wafts…

  • The Rise of the Berners

    The Rise of the Berners

    How self-guided volunteers are getting the word out about Bernie Sanders for the 2016 U.S. Presidential election through social media. The first time I heard about Bernie Sanders was not through the news, but a status update my friend posted on Facebook in late May. I had been scrolling down my endless feed of information…

    A Disposable Adventure

    At the start of the new year, I had decided to purchase a disposable camera in hopes of catching more meaningful moments on film. It’s considerably lighter than my usual Canon camera, weighing the same as just the strap alone. So I carried the disposable around with me for three months and finally finished the…

    Visiting Flux Factory, A Not-For-Profit Artist Residency Building in Queens

    I was lost. I made the trek out of the city to Long Island Friday afternoon just as the chill of the day began to catch up with me. The area was largely empty with unmarked factory buildings and a few hotels scattered about. Supposedly this was where I would find the Flux Factory. A door marked with an…

  • Concert Review: Sondre Lerche, Delicate Steve and Jonas Alaska at Music Hall of Williamsburg, June 30th, 2015

    Exactly four years and one-day later and Sondre Lerche still has the same mystical command over an audience in Brooklyn as he did in L.A.. I honestly didn’t realize how much I would still be influenced by his performance. All those years ago, my friends Kat, Stephanie and I went to the El Rey Theatre…

  • Frida Kahlo at the New York Botanical Garden

    A few friends and I took the hour and a half long trek out of Manhattan to the New York Botanical Garden to see the reconstruction of Frida Kahlo’s famed garden. Somehow we managed to walk through almost the entirety of the botanical garden without seeing any of the Frida paintings. I don’t know how…

    Interviewing Mary Ellen Mark: A Photo-documentarian’s Advice

    When I found out about the death of one of the greatest photographers of the photojournalism community, I was shocked and confused. Mary Ellen Mark was an institution as well as an inspiration to many.  And it was not too long ago that I had met this accomplished woman. I had the incredible pleasure of visiting Mary Ellen…
