Holgas: Washington Square & Washington D.C.
I love the Holga. Not only do you get the old-school joy of waiting to get film developed, but they create really cool vignetting. And who doesn’t love medium-format squareness? A few months a go I shot off two rolls of black-and-white film and forgot about them. I just got them developed and was pleasantly [...]
Heidi Klum and the Williamsburg Bridge
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show returned to New York, which for me meant media stunts and backstage access to the show. Marisa Miller, Heidi Klum and Alessandra Ambrosia hit Times Square to promote the show: The day of the show, I got backstage access to the ladies’ hair and make-up session. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Behati [...]
A Week in Photos (Nov. 2 – 8)
Monday: I wandered up to the park on the East River that faces Manhattan. Sometimes I forget that I live here. Tuesday: Found a really cool subway performer at Union Square Tuesday night. Francois plays the balafon and moved to NYC from Cameroon about a year ago. More to come about him in a later [...]
Subway Art Blog
Jowy Romano over at The Subway Art Blog posted some of my photos, accompanied by music by Marques Toliver, on his site. The blog is all about art found in or inspired by the NYC metro system and includes amusing, engaging content from all around the MTA.
The Rest of Fashion Week
I got to shoot a few shows and presentations for Fashion Week for NBCNewYork.com’s fashion blog The Thread. The ADAM show was much crazier than Rachel Comey — I practically had to lie down to squeeze some space among the other photogs to shoot the runway, but it was definitely a fun experience. The Marchesa [...]
Rachel Comey’s Spring 2010 Show
I shot my first runway show! Rachel Comey held her spring 2010 show on a roof in Chelsea, and NBCnewyork.com got backstage access. See the whole slideshow here and read an interview with Rachel Comey by our fashion editor Laurel Pinson here. Applying “freckles.” Getting teased. The make-up for the show was understated and the [...]
Guitarists on the L Train
Maybe it’s because I grew up in suburbia, but I’m still fascinated by buskers and street performers. I mean, people don’t just burst into song in a crowded place in Matthews, N.C. This duo was on the L train yesterday morning.
Amy and Rod’s Wedding
In June, I had the pleasure of photographing Amy and Rod’s wedding on Wrightsville Beach. They had a beautiful ceremony in between the raindrops on the Southern tip of the island. Many congratulations to the happy couple! See my wedding photography website at KateLordWeddings.com.
Mom-mom
My grandma came into the city yesterday with my aunt and cousin to see South Pacific on Broadway. Mom-mom, my dad’s mom, is 93 years old, and as she’ll frequently tell you herself, she’s pretty remarkable for her age. She still gets around and visits with all of her friends and will occasionally trek into [...]
Jamie and Bob’s Wedding
Jamie and Bob Ferguson were married April 25 in Wilmington, N.C. They had a beautiful ceremony at the Arboretum and the reception was held at the Cameron Art Museum. Thanks for having me share your day, Jamie and Bob! See my wedding photography website at KateLordWeddings.com.
Old Town Bar wins the Golden Local
NBCNewYork.com had readers vote in an epic debate about which of two NYC bars was the better “old” bar. The Old Town Bar on 18th street won. Gerard Meagher, the co-owner of the bar, served champagne to all his patrons to celebrate the win. Guiness was, of course, still available. See the rest of the [...]
Stumblebum Brass Band
This is the second time I’ve caught Stumblebum Brass Band at around midnight at the 6th Avenue L stop. They’ve got an awesome sound and somehow schlep a whole drumkit into the subway, so that in itself is impressive. Josh Malone plays trumpet and vocals — no mics in the subway, just a bullhorn. Jesse [...]
Another subway performer
…This time in the middle of the afternoon. This F train car was pretty full, but no one seemed to mind the drummers.
The Golden Local
The Golden Local is a set of “debates” at NBCnewyork.com in which New Yorkers vote on what is the best hot dog, pizza slice, etc. Today’s debate: New York’s best steakhouse. BLT was awarded the coveted Golden Local. And I was sent to go shoot it:
F Train and Central Park
I really need to carry my camera around more because I’m getting so much “shot regret,” as my dear friend Edythe would call it. Here are a few snaps from when I wasn’t too lazy and actually carried it with me: This guy was having a major jam session on the F train. That dude [...]
wandering…
On Saturday, Leah, Daniel and I wandered all around the Lower East Side, SoHo and the farmer’s market at Union Square. Despite the fact that I start work at 2 p.m. and have all morning to do things like this, I still find myself being SUPER LAZY. So this is the first time I really [...]
i <3 subway performers
I am apparently enthralled by subway performers. This dude was at the Rockefeller Center stop Saturday night. Gotta love some old school accordian music!
First week in NYC
Wayne, a street performer, gets the crowd riled up at the 34th Street – Herald Square subway station. Coffee while we waited for our brunch to arrive. Awesome church down the street from my apartment — love the roof!!! Cute tags on each bottle at a little local wine shop. Railing in Green Point in [...]
Inauguration weekend
On the eve of President Barack Obama’s inauguration, crowds gathered in the National Mall to check out the scene. A Texan woman wears a “Texans for Obama” bumper sticker on the back of her winter coat in the National Mall Monday, January 19. A street vendor warms his hands as a large group descends on [...]
