I woke up to photograph the early morning party-goers as they made their way home from a night of drinking on Halloween. Watching a man dressed in stockings as he lay strung out on the uncomfortable benches of the Staten Island Ferry.
I thought this would be enough, but then I saw Our Lady peering up through the early morning fog.
It pays to be out at 3 a.m.
