Manhattan often seems like a stage where performers and exhibitionists of all varieties put on a nonstop show. I first became interested in documenting these performers in 2008, as the economy slid into recession. There was “theater” everywhere: in the streets, in public spaces, in the subway, at ethnic and social festivals where people showed off costumes, in Times Square, at political demonstrations…the spectacle was endless. I worked with my quiet, discreet Leica camera, photographing in a fluid, fast-moving reportorial style that suited the mercurial nature of my subjects. All of the photographs were made on black and white film that I processed and printed myself.5:00 pm – 6:30 pm EST/GMT-5
