16x20 inch Black & White print on Epson Art Cotton Smooth 250 gram paper. From the NYC Village Halloween Parade, 1982–86.
A costumed Steiff teddy bear named Munson sits perched on a windowsill at 59 West Tenth Street, quietly overseeing the vibrant chaos of the Village Halloween Parade below. The narrow streets of Greenwich Village teem with a massive crowd of revelers, their energy radiating upward into the room. Shot on Kodak Tri-X film with a 35mm Pentax, the image uses the natural ambient light of the apartment contrasted with the bright glow of the celebration below — preserving a uniquely personal view of this historic New York City tradition.
