Derek Powazek’s submission
Apple Sweat 1 by Derek Powazek
Apple Sweat 2 by Derek Powazek
For all you on the East Coast, remember when it was scorching hot on the first week of August? It was so hot that certain parts of the city’s power went out, people died, and people just wanted to stay indoors with the air conditioner on. Derek Powazek was visiting the city with his wife during that week and captured the hardcore heat people endured in the streets. He used the non-intrusive Lomo LC-A camera to capture New Yorkers since his Holga was melting and the digital SLR was too in-your-face for fellow natives.
My camera found New York in a rare moment. A city of incredible diversity, united in sweat. From Chinatown to the Village to Coney Island, New Yorkers were out in the world, doing their jobs, making the best of it. By the time the rain started to fall and the heat began to fade, we felt a new bond with the people who call NYC home.
You better get your submissions in before 6PM EST tomorrow!!!!
