For my photo essay, I will be visiting the ‘Grand Central Food Festival Series’ that takes place every Friday. I plan to start at once end of the festival and make my way all the way to the end. The food festival lasts from 10 in the morning to 6 in the evening, which will hopefully provide enough time to capture enough different and compelling photographs. I want to capture the different aspects of the festival. The food and vendors will be a focus, but I also want to be able to capture the essence of community the exists among different cultures.
Hopefully, at the event, there will be visually compelling moments. This event happens every Friday this Fall so it might be beneficial to go on different weeks. However, I’m not sure whether or not I want to keep my photo essay contained to just a day at the festival.
For my photo essay, I will be attending The New York Show with Brain the Yoyo Guy. Brain usually performs every weekend in Bryant Park. I plan to meet with Brain before his performance and see how he prepares. I want to observe Brain’s show and see how he interacts with his audience.
