I posted a small series of images I took after the Marc Jacobs show on Monday. Here’s one that didn’t make that set.
People in Madison Square Park sat in the fountain to watch the U.S. Open men’s final on Monday—the water replaced with artificial turf. I suppose the green indicated tennis. When Andy Murray won, this is how the crowd reacted.
This is one of my favorite gestures for greetings and goodbyes—there were a lot of both in New York this week.
I typically make a photo essay on 9/11—here’s last year’s—but this year I spent the day shooting outside shows. However, while walking back from dinner in SoHo, I saw this at Greene and Houston.
The light in the Hamptons last night was glorious, and I wish I could take a photo that did in justice. Instead, we have this.
Yes, helmets are required these days, even in the West Village.
One of my favorite places in New York is St. Luke in the Fields on Hudson. Here are two chairs because two is a perfect number.

This woman and her family—three sons and a husband—had come from Mexico to watch Rafael Nadal play in the U.S. Open final. On the 7 train to Flushing Meadows, they caught a few minutes of rest.

Okay, he’s not a drummer and she didn’t fall in love with him, but the girl in front of the stage is clearly enjoying Rhett Miller’s show with Starling Crush at le Poisson Rouge in New York a couple years ago as the light hits her face.

While we sat around watching the Jets game after Thanksgiving dinner was over, my friend’s niece decided that there was more fun to be had on the floor with Duke, the dog.
I was in lower Manhattan on 9/11 taking photos as people protested against the building of a mosque near Ground Zero. I noticed someone else shooting with a Leica and took his photograph. It turned out to be Anthony Suau, one of the best photojournalists in the world. You can see Suau’s photos from the same scene here. Here’s a short promotional video he did for Leica.
This was the first year of my life that I documented more with my photography than with my writing, especially if that whole picture = 1,000 words equation is true. Here are some of the things I saw in 2010, arranged, more or less, chronologically. For those of you who are curious about gear, I took most of the shots with a Leica M7, Leica M8, or Panasonic GF1. And I’m still waiting for my roll of Kodakchrome to be processed.
This man was sporting two flags on 9/11 next to ground zero.
In SoHo, a woman chats on her cell phone, worried that the children passing by may suddenly rush past her for the best chocolate cake in the world. Meanwhile, Spiderman waits to make his move.
