Greenport, New York : 2008 - 2022
A decade+ long archive of images focused on the dances, the lovers, and locals alike that annually attend the dances in the park every summer in Greenport, NY.
“The purpose of music is to play - you play the piano, you don't work the piano. If the purpose of a symphony was to get to the end of the song, the best composers would be those who played fastest. But we don't see that. We think of life by analogy of a journey, with a serious purpose at the end. Maybe success, whatever that is, or maybe heaven when you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along. It was a musical thing. You were supposed to sing, and dance, as the music was being played.”
