caryconover: I just sold this print to an old neighbor friend of mine from Stanton Street, Sarah Archambault. I have no idea who the couple in this picture is, only that it was taken May 1, 2001 at a bar called Botanica, on Houston Street in Lower Manhattan. I remember who I was with that day, my roommates Patrick Witty and Craig Allen, and I kept noticing how this scene with the canoodling couple in the booth screamed “Photograph Me!” At some point Patrick and Craig both went to the bar to order another round and that’s when I shot this picture, so as not to draw attention to myself, or the couple. I don’t know, I am kind of self-conscious like that when photographing. I don’t want to be seen taking a picture. But I am super stoked Sarah will be giving this a good home.
