The Big Orange

September 13, 2019 3 Comments

Time to rename the Big Apple – if only for the month of September. Orange ruled on the streets, walls and windows of New York City. And that was BEFORE fashion week began which I unfortunately missed by a week or so. By then the streets are filled with truly spectacular outfits.

Today’s orange-and-friends photographs were all taken around the Village, down Ave B, in the lower East Side and Williamsburg.

From hair,

pink works too…..

to bags

to clothes,

to walls

orange dominated.

With a sprinkling of yellow.

Of course Black&White will NEVER cease to exist. I guess a dominant mode in American thinking echoed in people’s wardrobe….

Maybe it will change: let’s believe in miracles.

For more serious music, here is Johnny Greenwood’s (remember Radiohead?) new composition Horror Vacui – something you never have to worry about in NYC. Starts at 1:03.33 during the concert at the Royal Albert Hall.

Can you tell I am jet lagged and unable to get my brain into gear for more serious discourse????

    Frederike – Loved your orange street photos from NYC. Reminded me of Jay Maisel’s work after viewing the documentary of him (Jay Myself) last night.

    Convincing (about the orange)! And fun!

    Memo to the NYT: I think you should hire FH to do your street photography. Though I think some in the the Columbia River Gorge region might not favor that proposal…..
