Twinkie

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.

In this grainy, mid-80s analog B&W shot from the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade, a playful pair captures the lighter side of the night. A person dressed as "Twinkie the Kid" in a cowboy hat waves enthusiastically next to a towering, handmade Dellwood milk carton dated "Oct 31." Shot on 35mm film between 1982 and 1986, the medium-contrast film and powerful professional-grade flash make these funny, oversized costumes pop against the dark street — the photographer deep in the parade, interacting with the snack-themed duo who brought whimsical charm to the electric atmosphere.
