Breakfast

16x20 inch Black & White print on Epson Art Cotton Smooth 250 gram paper. From the NYC Village Halloween Parade, 1982–86.

A cheerful duo embodying a classic breakfast pair marches through the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade during the mid-1980s. Dressed as a giant slice of toast and a sunny-side-up egg, the masqueraders beam at the camera, their foam-based costumes adding a playful, lighthearted energy to the night. This black-and-white analog photograph, taken with a 35mm Pentax, utilizes a powerful professional strobe light to freeze the pair against the darkened New York City street. The grainy texture of the Tri-X film emphasizes the soft curves of the egg white and the toasted edges of the bread, while catching the candid joy of the surrounding crowd. It is a charming example of the imaginative, DIY spirit that has long characterized this annual NYC tradition, captured in high-contrast detail.
