Archival 16x20 inch black-and-white fine art print on Epson Art Cotton Smooth 250 gram paper. NYC Village Halloween Parade street photography, Greenwich Village, 1982–86.

This black-and-white 35mm composition, captured on classic Kodak Tri-X film, presents a jovial yet ghoulish dinner performance at the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade. Shot with a Pentax camera combined with a powerful Norman 200B flash, the image illuminates a dapper figure laughing over a macabre centerpiece. The background is filled with a lively crowd leaning over small wooden police barricades, many sporting the thick moustaches that were a hallmark of 1980s style. A police officer stands watch in the distance, completing this 1982–86 era scene that perfectly highlights the neighborhood's original artisan-centric creative spirit.
