Island of Misfit Looks

The Story

Hi! It's me--Lindsay--writer, beauty enthusiast, and spoonie extraordinaire. Growing up as the daughter of a fashion executive, I have been immersed in the world of editorial artistry and trend my entire life. I have traveled the world with some of the best in the business and fell in love with the industry at a young age, which ultimately led me to pursuing a post-grad fashion career of my own.  Unfortunately, not long after moving to NYC to pursue those dreams, my professional aspirations were cut short by the culmination of ever-worsening health issues that had plagued me for most of my life. I was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematous (SLE), and my life was over as I knew it.

I was too sick to work, so pushing myself to maintain a grueling, fast-paced schedule in the high-intensity NY fashion world was out of the question. I was immediately put on a variety of serious medication with debilitating side effects that changed me inside and out. My body changed, my skin changed, and my relationship with the outside world changed.

Street Scenes

You never know what you’ll find on the streets. And if you happen to be a photographer working in New York, that’s doubly true. I’ve had the good fortune to shoot all over the world, and when I come back to New York, I’m always reminded of why I started my career here.

The New York street scene is, for better or for worse, the street scene. It’s the one that is the most iconoclastic, and because of the backdrop of New York, it’s the one that I think people from just about anywhere imagine when they think of the idea of a street scene—whatever a “street scene” happens to be.

I created this album to showcase some of my favorite street scenes that I’ve captured in New York. This is nothing that I’ve done on contract or in my studio, just real life moments captured by me with my Mark III when I had some time to kick it around the city. I hope you like what you see. I did.
