Mets 25th Anniversary

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

A boisterous group of revelers dressed in matching Mets-themed attire celebrates during the Village Halloween Parade in the mid-1980s. Commemorating the team's 25th anniversary with custom t-shirts and baseball caps, the participants add a humorous twist by sporting padded oven mitts instead of traditional baseball gloves. Shot on high-speed Tri-X film with a 35mm camera and a portable commercial flash, the image freezes the group's jubilant energy — the high-contrast black-and-white tones emphasizing the mix of wigs, jewelry, and oversized props that defined the irreverent spirit of this New York City street celebration.
