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

In this gritty, mid-80s analog B&W shot from the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade, a man in a Ronald Reagan mask flings his arms wide in a mock-presidential pose. To his left, a woman in tinsel hair clutches a kazoo, while a haunting, pale-faced figure in a dark blazer stares from the background. The sharp flash and heavy grain of the 35mm film capture the raw energy of the New York City night — the photographer deep in the parade's chaotic, interactive theater, not a distant observer but a willing participant.
