It's been a while since I've been working in New York. This time, I am excited to work with Richard Move for the first time.
The first ever performance commissioned by the Trust for Governors Island features six site-specific dance performances immersed in the Island’s stunning landscapes on October 9 & 16, 2021. From the ancient trees of Nolan Park to the secluded lawns of Hammock Grove and the dramatic topography of the Hills, visitors will be led on a journey across the Island’s iconic public space.
The Cast: Robyn Cascio, Megumi Eda, Lisa Giobbi w/ Yoni Kallai, Celeste Hastings, PeiJu Chien-Pott, Natasha Diamond-Walker, & Gabrielle Willis, w/ costumes by Karen Young & event map by Connie Fleming.

Returning to Mary Ellen Mark foundation studio in Soho, NYC.
I returned to @maryellenmarkfoundation studio in Soho for the first time in eight years.
Mary Ellen Mark died 2 years after this shoot. She was a true New York artist and a true hippie who traveled around the world with her pigtails and one of my most respected dynamic photographers of this generation. She was very kind and friendly.
Her core teams, Meredith and Julia, and Mary Ellen’s husband, Martin warmly welcomed me and showed me original b-roll polaroid photos that I haven't seen since shooting.
