"The Men from Another Era"

nobody@flickr.com (Sion Fullana) — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 07:27:30 -0700

This type of everyday elegance that once was almost everywhere is hard to find in the streets of New York anymore... So it stands out when you find not one but two at the same time in the same frame...

They're light yet full, they can give the temporary illusion that they can be grabbed and attained, but they as easily have the ability to deflate and escape from your hands, and fly away from you...

You can either sit down, let yourself be seen and wait around to see what life may bring and throw at you, or you can try to run forward at your own pace and chase for things.

Which side are you normally on?

"The Invisibility in New York"

Sion Fullana posted a photo:

A city where everyone is going about their day so focused in their own heads that they often won't even see (or care) what's happening around them. That's why it's a perfect place to be who you want to be, and look how you want to look...

Its majestic scale always finds how to make you feel small, in every sense. And that awakes what's needed inside you to make you grow bigger, to challenge yourself and your fear and become stronger... For this city demands you to be! And rewards you if you try!

"Always Dreaming of You, Sweet New York"

Only 12 days ago, there I was, in DUMBO by the East River, taking a portrait session with my friend Kristina.

The city in the background, the feeling of longing, the warmth from the sun...

It all feels so far away now... so much darker...

Post Sandy's flooding of the area, the park still remains closed. But the love song continues. Because New York always prospers and comes back from the ashes, stronger...

"The Day I Was Found by The Girl at the Bar" (The "Strangers No More" Project)

On March 2011, as I was getting out of our former apartment on Greenwich Ave, I glanced quickly at the window of Johnny's Bar, above which we had lived for 5 years. Many times I had seen that frame before, same scenario, different players. But that day, it was special. In the shade, mysterious, beautiful with only her face lit, she sat... The girl at the bar. I took a candid shot and kept walking.

Two days later, I posted it to Flickr and a few weeks later on Instagram as well. It always remained one of my favorite candids. Three months later, we left that neighborhood and moved to Brooklyn.

Then, last week, suddenly, magic stoke again. As one Instagram user was browsing the tag #JohnnysBar, she saw my picture and recognized her friend. And therefore, The Girl at the Bar was found...

I'm happy to introduce you to Kera, a gorgeous native from Queens (NY), living in Bed Stuy (Brooklyn) these days. Kera splits her time between her Psychology classes and her work as a private math tutor for the department of education, working with kids from kindergarten to 12.
Yesterday I got to meet the lovely Kera, I gifted her a mounted print of my original photograph, and returned to the original location to take this portrait.

Here's to the power of serendipity, the magic of breaking the barriers from candid street photography to getting to know our subjects, and the importance of (well used) tags in today's social media.
