So last night I filled in a bunch of dates for September. Of course in September is NYC's Fashion Week, and for Maggie it really is like Fashion Month because all the smaller designers and up and coming designers have events before and after.
So far Maggie is booked now to "walk" in two shows, and there is some big event/party that is rather exclusive that I'll be able to attend.
We also were asked out to dinner by some influential friends we just met on our vacation in Seattle later in the month who will be in New York.
Separately, my friend Justin in Seattle, who has that urban wear retail store in a building that formally was a bank, came back from vacation and really loves the work prints I sent him. He really likes the panoramic shot of the Domino Sugar Refinery and this new shot I call "Selfie-Girl" that shows this beautiful woman at a party held on the rooftop of the "Public Hotel" in dusky light. Basically I will have two of my 20x30's printed on 24x36 displayed in a rather large trendy store that has a very urban vibe. Three of Justin's motorcycles are used as part of the displays.
Next I will be sending the big prints.
Anyways this will be an exciting and busy month. Pretty much I'll be going to work to rest. LOL.

Bob,
Last year we attempted to see Photoville together, but the crowds made that not practical. We only saw some of it.
The best is come early and see as much of it as you can before we "Group-Up" at noon. It does seem like the scale of this year's Photoville will have 75 cargo containers in Brooklyn Bridge Park. In my mind this is a lot. You might have to come back another day to really be able to see everything if that is your goal.
We broke off and had some lunch as a group. I'm sure we will have to eat.
I'm a volanteer, so I will be setting up exhibits and meeting lots of people. I'll surely get some smut. LOL. Thursday September 7th I will be going to an orientation.
I think I will be putting in my time mostly during the work week. Call me antisocial, but at heart I'm really a loner, just don't tell everyone. Also I figure this suits me best. Basically I will go to work at my boring day-job to rest. LOL.

I just RSVP'ed for a fashion show using GPS Radar, then I got a preview of what is to come and what is scheduled.
This year I will be "in the tent" as they say and "Maggie" is scheduled to "walk" in two fashion shows.
I had to register on GPS Radar and give out some information that kinda profiles me. I wonder what will happen with the Data Mining that seems evident. I think a door has been opened.
Also for PhotoPlusExpo I submitted a rather lengthy survey that took about 10 minutes to fill out for a chance for a $500.00 gift card. More Data Mining.
Usually I avoid partaking in obvious Data Mining. At Grumman and at my present workplace I rudely discovered the reduction of benefits and the increased amounts of co-pays made obvious that the employee surveys are used against us, but I think somehow this current Data Mining is not just random.
Oh-well. I guess I'm being profiled.

Today begins the official NYC Fashion Week, but for me yesterday, last night, I had an event to attend with "Maggie." Anyways had fun, made some great/interesting shots shooting 1600 ISO which is unusually high for me. Normally I never really go more than one stop over base ISO, but the SL really does well at 1600. Pretty much I saw no real artifact that was bad.
Tonight I will be heading to Dumbo to shoot before attending a Photoville Orientation that will last an hour and a half. I'll be volenteering for two Friday nights later in September. I hope they have small Photoville T-shirts for me.
Interesting to note that I have evolved and changed recently. Film for me has become more important, and instead of shooting as much as I can, I have been concentrating on testing new films and developers as well as gearing up for some crazy volume of 70mm film shooting. My experiments include Ferrania P30, Bergger Panchro 400 in 120, Rollie 400S, FP4, Kodak 5222, Delta 400, Delta 3200, HP5, and the developers Rodinal and Ilford DDX, as well as more crazy work with Diafine (Slacker's Brew).
I'm also concentrating my printing into making an "Art Book" of my work. I bought some Canson Duo Rag Photographic to see if the double sided printing would work for me, but I don't like matte prints for my work. Yuk... Oh-well.
Last night made a new friend with a sound engineer who has his own record label. I really learned a lot about the state of the art digital recording. I also got an expert opinion of how those diplomates in Cuba got permanent hearing loss and brain damage from a sub-sonic high amplitude attack.
It was mostly a deep conversation that involved a lot of physics and math. Sam is pretty crazy with crunching big data to record audio, and his threshold for noise was in the mud. Anyways crazy good stuff from a guy who does audio in a way crazy way.

I went to the orientation last night, and I was on site and saw how much bigger this year's event will be over last year's. They now have 25-30 foot aisles to better handle the crowds. Over 75 exhibits and they stacked shipping containers. Seems more organized.
So it opens at 12:00 noon, so the opportunity to preview the site before it gets mobbed will not happen.
I'll be working on the two Friday nights manning an exhibit.

NYC Fashion Week Smut: I'm not really sure what is happening tomorrow, but some type of shooting involving me will happen.
Out of all the days, today will be the most hectic day for Maggie.
On Saturday she went to some brand's Fashion Show that I was excluded from attending, but that night I went to an event held on the Aircraft Carrier Intrepid. Maggie was on a panel about digital media and presented one of five awards for fashion blogging. Interesting to see my gal photographed, videotaped, and interviewed on a Red Carpet.
We got the VIP Status and were ushered in by a host. After this presentation we attended a fashion show in Aircraft Hangar Two. I would learn that fashion shows now begin with a rapper's performance to prime the audience, and then the Fashion Show begins. It seemed as VIP's we were placed in the center of the runway and first row.
So I was primed for shooting with my Leica SL and a AF 50 Lux, you know that huge and heavy monster 50mm prime. I bumped the ISO to 6400. All I can say is that the SL is a fast shooter and was as fast or faster than my Nikon D3X which it replaced. A Fashion Show is very intense, very fast paced and if you are lucky you have the time to get off three shots of the model coming and three shots going. The idea here is to really capture the clothes, you want a tight head to toe shot, and you want to capture hopefully the model's leg in stride as the foot hits the ground.
As much as there is a pace to the show to predict, it is a lot like street shooting, in that you just try and get an interesting shot.
So yesterday was a big show that Maggie was going to "walk" the runway in two looks held in an odd building on West 17th Street I have walked past for decades and never knew what was inside. Maggie reports that her friend Romana was in charge of 15 Hair and Make-Up Artists and the call time for her was at noon even though the show was scheduled for 3:00 PM.
When I got there at three there were two long lines. I asked a security guy which line was mine, and he directed me to this gal with an IPAD who scanned my invitation. I had been waiting on the "Standing" line, and was relieved that I was assigned a seat.
So even though the show was scheduled for three it was around 3:20 when people like me that were assigned seats were allowed in. Luckily I was in the front row about 15 feet from the entrance to the runway. For a guy shooting a fast 50 prime this was optimum.
I set up my camera for shooting in dim light. Around 3:30 the show began and this truely great rapper came out and rocked the audience. Too cool. Then came out this skinny tall male dancer decorated in black body paint as if tatooed. This dancer too was amazing. He seemed to slither down the runway.
Then came an abrupt and sudden change in the lighting and the house lights were turned on, and I had to scramble because the fashion show was beginning. So this was mucho stress because I had to get shots of Maggie, but I did not know her spots in the itinerary, other than she would "walk' twice.
I figured out that I had to pre-focus to avoid AF hunting, I quickly figured out the pace and timing of the show, as one model exited another would enter, and at that point I had to be ready for a model entering. Realize if you cut off the model's feet or shoes the shot is no good, but you want a tight shot, head to toe. Pretty much like street shooting with a kill zone to some extent, but timing is everything like in sports.
When Maggie first appeared there was a clamor of applause from the audience. The crowd approved of the inclusiveness of using a non-typical model. I witnessed the same the night before in the other show when a plus sized model made her entrance.
So at the end of the show all the models do their parade, and somehow I blow it and can't find Maggie in the lineup, but the designer at the very end comes out holding Maggie's hand to share the stage with her. What an honor, and this is the reason why I missed Maggie in the line-up.
They emptied the hall and I waited by the stage entrance with others. Took about a half hour for all the selfies, photo ops and even a street video interview before we could leave. Basically I got out of her shots. LOL. In the crowd I knew a videographer
Last night was Refinery 29's "29 Rooms" an event held in Williamsburg on Wyeth near North 10th. When we got there, there was already a ling line that circled the entire block. This was going to be a huge event, and I was not pleased seeing the massive line. When I made a comment about the line, Maggie says, "We don't have to wait on that line, we're VIP's."
I was much relieved. We did some street shooting a walked around the block to view the line we did not have to wait on complete with Police baracades. When we got on a line for VIP's, pretty much there were six people in front of us.
The inside of this city block sized warehouse had 29 rooms that each involved the issue of identity or a social awareness. Kinda like a fun house in an amusement park except designed to entertain hipsters and thoughtfully sophisticated.
The place eventually was mobbed, and the crowds I think made it a huge fire trap. Of course she ran into some of her followers.
So this morning I read the program on the Saturday show that I was excluded from. In the first sentence is mentioned how Jamel Shabazz and Amy Arbus defined street photography in the 80's. It was used as a reference to a slower pace of time than today. Interesting how my killl zone technic from rangefinder shooting merged with autofocus to nail my shots.
Part of Maggie's day today is to have a meeting today with a founder of that brand.

I had a dental cleaning appointment on Long Island yesterday, so on the way back to the city I detoured to Atlantic Terminal and walked from the Barclay's Center to Brooklyn Bridge Park for the opening of Photoville.
I got there before three and the gates would open at 4:00 PM. Took some shots in overcast and slight drizzle. I was glad I got to see about 2/3rds of the shipping containers and spent about three hours seeing and meeting people without crowds.
At the Duggal booth I won a sublimated 16x20 print for a cost of $99.00 that normally costs around $300.00. I also was a bit greedy and took three of their microcloths for lens cleaning.
My favorite exhibit was the iconic shots of Rappers and Hip-hop artists that also displayed the contact sheets. Most of the negatives (yes film was used) were medium format: some 645, some 6x6, and some 6x7. I suspect a Blad for the 6x6 and a Pentax 67 for the 6x7.
The booth that showed what happened in Charlottesville is very disturbing. I found myself tearing up. It was sad. One person who went to protect and support preserving the monuments was targeted and purposely attacked. He basically was there to preserve history and not promote racial hatred, yet he was attacked. It was also suggested by photographers that the police took sides and did little to protect the anti-hate protesters.
There are lots of social agendas presented, and they are presented rather powerfully. I feel compelled to have to spend more time. Those three hours only allowed me to see parts of the event. I still have to review the upper levels.
They did a much better job this year with spreading things out. It is less maze like and the aisles are now very wide to avoid that number 6 Train effect. This event is really a lot bigger than last year. I say it will take more time than you imagine to see everything.

Tuesday "Maggie" and I went to a major print magazine's office in mid-town for an video interview (Maggie), and shoot for a zine that has been around for decades. Interesting to note that the smut is that this big print magazine is increasing its online presence and that evidently the smut is that they are building out a video production capability, video studios, and will be very involved online. I was surprised how late to the game they are, because the smut is that the crew we worked with were all recent hires that came on-board only last fall.
I'm not sure how much will end up being cut, but my photography got plugged a few times by Maggie during the interview. I kinda was spotlighted as more of a street photographer capturing urban living in NYC. Maggie featured two "looks."
Also like the NBC World News Tonight segment, we were videotaped doing our street shooting. This feature will be for this magazine's online platform and will be released in December.
Also know that we have had a videographer stalking us who is doing a documentry on Maggie. More of me shooting will be featured.

Curious, yesterday I stumbled upon a Instagram profile of a Hip Hop photographer of the time who posted his contact sheets. Perhaps it's the same person.
I just thought that the American RFFers I met were you and Frank Jackson, who are part of communities that have endured a bad side of the American dream (if that puts the concept in some way). It wasn't that long ago that some outrageous beliefs were just common, prior to civil rights. I watched the movie "Loving", screening a real story of interracial marriage in 1958 and the expression of the contemporary thought is simply enraging.
As an European, seeing images of guys walking with M16's full paramilitary is baffling. Police seemed quite impassible supposedly to avoid adding explosiveness.
The perception of "Dixie" I see on my corner of Europe is rather Romantic...
Nuff politics.
I dislike Dentists because I happen to need paying quite a bit, but the appointments often lend to nice walks. Did a bit of a coastal hike after mine last week.

Jorde,
I like to think of myself as a journalist because I want to see and present "the good, the bad, and the ugly." I like to think I have no preference of the three mentioned, I think I can unwind my own predudices, but condition and repeated experiences are deeply embedded.
My greatest fear growing up when I was younger was the fear that I knew I had the rage within myself to kill someone because I could not control my anger. Today I can say I was a very dangerous person, but likely the aggression and the instinct to fight to win allowed me to survive.
I like to think things have changed, but in some ways they just haven't.
At Photoville the effects of global warming are expressed even more profoundly through the struggles indicated in the photographs. This is a very rude and stark reality. The pictures really are pointing to the future. Equally as disturbing and unsettling.

Tonight I'll be at Photoville volunteering 6-11 PM working as an exhibition assistant.
I also will likely blow out of work early to see the rest of the exhibits on the second level.
I was checking out the print deal I was awarded (16x20 dye sublimation on aluminum for $99.00). It really is an over $300.00 print with the structural backing. I think I already have a cool image that will be very slick printed on a floating metal panel proud off a wall.
Funny thing is the image is B&W shot with my SL and a manual focus lens at night. "Maggie" is walking down a subway stairway wearing leather pants and a velvet jacket. The image looks as if shot with a flash because of all the vivid detail. I'll have to crop the image stairs out a bit to fit a 4x5 aspect ratio.
Anyways expect to be inspired by Photoville. Tomorrow is that big Pete Souza interview at Saint Ann's Warehouse. See some of you Sunday at noon at the carousel for our monthly Meet-Up.

Ben,
So far not mobbed like last year. They have a much better layout this year so it is not like being on the 6 train.
I spent a lot of time at Photoville this year, and I got to see everything.
The Pete Souza interview at Saint Ann's Warehouse was a great event. Over 8 years Pete took over 2 million photo's, only had three weeks off, and used only one sick day. He gave up some interesting back stories.
What a pro, but now he is understandably tired. He revealed what made him great at his job was being a well seasoned photographer. Very inspiring.
I walked from East Harlem to Dumbo via Queens and Brooklyn in under 4 hours shooting along the way. I discovered a new park on Flushing Avenue that use to be part of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Also Sunset Park is gentrifying.
The Brooklyn Navy Yard is also expanding construction. Some things you really only see walking the city over time.
