things....
One...its not going to be easy getting into people's homes. There are still going to be a lot of "typical" famefamefame style street portraits. I'm working on shaking things up. It's been a while since I've done this and I've already fucked up a couple of names of people who were kind enough to allow me to photograph them. I need to shake off the cobwebs and get back in it.
Two...During the day that I shot most of the upcoming portraits, I did come across a great guy named Matt Burns who brought me into his home and let me take some shots that turned out great. These will be posted in a couple of days. I bought an audio recorder, some lower end Zoom recorder, but found that the quality was way worse than I expected it to be. I plan on returning it and getting a better recorder if I can find the receipt. Audio is something that I'm going to be working on and it most likely is going to be a rough, ugly process since I'm not an audio guy, so, please excuse the mess that may ensue. It may even take some time before I post any audio solely for quality control reasons.
Three...Thanks to everyone. If anyone wants/needs any pictures taken of themselves in Williamsburg/Bushwick, please let me know. I'm looking for deeper projects at this point. Like I said earlier, I'm looking for quality over quantity so any type of visualness would be awesome. Even if its just pictures of you drawing in your apartment on a winter day. If I can photograph you in a personal setting with some sort of story/personal feel, that is what I'm after at this point.
Lastly, I plan on shooting more in Bushwick now, seeing as how it is full on in the midst of the same change that Williamsburg has been going through for the last 10+ years. I'll have to change the banner on the site, just don't feel like doing it now. Soon enough.
Please excuse any changes, bumps, hiccups, and experimentation that may follow.

Back in the New York Groove
www.famefamefame.com is back. A few changes in purpose/style/concepts/posting that I have spent some time thinking about and in the end I think will make this project more effective.
For starters, I'm not going to post daily street portraits. It was the becoming more a numbers game for me than a quality project, so I'm going to have less posts. I'm still going to troll the streets, coming up with some of the same style shots, but ultimately I'm looking for something more. My new mission is to find my way into people's lives or homes as long as they'll have me. This could mean 5 minutes of walking around a grocery store, or 20 minutes in their home. I don't think this will be easy, so I don't expect lots of posts like this but they'll be posted when they do happen.
Thanks for keeping up with the site. I should have a couple of posts later today and this week.
