228 Monroe Street

I'm absolutely exhausted. I just got home from working 14 hours straight with a 30 minute break and only 2 cigarettes allllll day. I just moved into this new apartment in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, and all of my new roommates and their friends were hanging out so I was naturally compelled to show my face and hang out for a while. Of course I used the time to shoot more (I love my new camera, I CAN'T stop).

Concrete Alchemy

Concrete Alchemy; A group of 15 visual artists called Concrete Alchemy painted the wall on Water Street (@ Pearl St) in Dumbo, Brooklyn, on Thursday and Friday, working steadily both days to complete the 15' H x 50' W wall mural. After collaborating for over 20 hours between the two days of painting, they also took time to do a public discussion panel on the benefits of graffiti; and how if used correctly can serve as beautiful art for the people. I was lucky enough to spend a few hours photographing them on assignment from my boss.

Evolution

Evolution -- in downtown SoHo, Manhattan, New York City. A specialty store designed for everything death related... obviously right up my alley.
