Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Soma Street Pulse, The Music Issue, NYC
I was asked to shoot another ‘Street Pulse’ for Soma Magazine’s Music issue. This time, instead of combing the streets for your run of the mill fashionista’s, I sought ought individuals with their own flair and a passion for the music world.
Check out who Soma ran here, http://somamagazine.com/new-york-city/
…and here are some of my other faves shot in my traveling about, collecting words and faces for my submission.
This months music themed questions were:
1. What’s your connection to the music world/industry?
2. What album or artist are you playing on repeat these days?
3. What was the first concert you ever went to, and where was it?
4. What was the last show you saw that you really liked? Who & where was it?
5. What is your fave venue in NYC to see or play a show?
