Bow Bridge in the winter. Central Park. New York City.

I miss the snow.

I miss the silence: deafening silence punctuated by small breaths signifying flutters of life in a world swallowed by the sinking, seductive embrace of serenity.

That type of serenity isn’t easy to come by in a city that moves faster than the speed of hope: it’s frenetic core blinked into existence by anxious dreamers.

If I hold still, very still, for just a moment and close my eyes, I can paint my serenity memory on the backs of my eyelids.

In this moment the world stops rotating long enough and my breath reverberates alongside the earth’s heartbeat.

It’s back to being cold and unbearably windy in New York City today with wind gusts up to 35 mph. This photo somehow seems appropriate. This was taken in the midst of a snowstorm in Central Park.

A few months ago I was asked to shoot a video for an electronic-political music project that is based in New York City. Having absolutely no experience or expertise with shooting music videos whatsoever, I said yes.

This was shot on a extremely bitter cold day in and around the Financial District and lower Manhattan with nothing but the Flip Ultra HD video camera given to me to use that day by the singer of the project specifically for this video. It was edited (with much trial and error) in Adobe Premiere Elements.

Today it got linked on NME, a popular online magazine for media news much to my surprise! You can view the link on NME here.

While I don’t profess any sort of prowess with shooting and editing videos since this was literally my first time dealing with this sort of thing, the experience did make me keenly aware of how different and complex video shooting and editing can be in relation to digital photography. It was enjoyable playing with the movement of the video in relation to the music (3:53 and on was particularly fun).

I am very happy that I was able to shoot in some of my favorite places in the Financial District, including my absolute favorite alley in New York City.
