"THEY WALK AMONG US" - MASK CITY

Like most of us, I love Halloween, and, like many of us, I have been taking photographs of this classic ritual for quite some time. For many years I would go down to the staging area for the Halloween parade in Greenwich Village.  At some point I realized my favorite photos were of costumed people out of context on the side streets or subways or buying beer in a bodega.  Recently, I found a batch of vintage masks that I had purchased years ago.  With the help of some friends, I decided to recreate some of those out of context moments…   

Happy Halloween!
