I can’t begin to express how happy with I am with how my Art In Odd Places, UV Beauties shoot transpired. It has been a long time since I anxiously awaited my film like it was Christmas morning. If they are half as amazing as the process of creating them on the streets of Manhattan over these last two weekends, I will be thrilled.
Now it is time to hunker down for a long post-production period, and dig in to edit and conceptualize the project a bit more. I feel that these new images have added an additional layer of meaning to the project, and I need time to process that evolution.
But I want to thank my incredible support staff from these past two weekends. Their hard work, for FREE, made this all possible, I am so grateful. Each one of them was professional, hard working and so enthusiastic, they made the shoot not only succeed, but so much fun.
The UltraViolet Beauties Team: Check out their sites, I had some pretty talented photogs in my midst.
Fury Young (extra special thank you to Fury, who not only came all four days, but got everyone to sign a release form, no easy task!)
Also, it has been so wonderful to get some much support from my fellow bloggers and artists. Check out these posts:
Have You Seen My Dynamite, Tim Briner
I Like to Tell Stories, Jonathan Saunders
Pictures I like to look at, Will Green
And most importantly to my list of contributors and vendors, without their donations or discounts, I would not have been able to shoot.

Thank you! I think you should see if the Department of Cultural Affairs does not want to give you a grant or other support for this. This was great for the city I think.
