Arriving Early and Staying Late

Arriving Early and Staying Late is a glimpse of the crowd outside Broadway's stage doors. Being this close to the very fans that are the life blood of the theatre industry was truly an experience. Watching these people, these fans, interact with the people they idolize was fascinating, on many levels. On the one hand, you see a person who's passionate about the show they've just seen, and the actor they've just witnessed, and wants to capture this moment to remember for a life time. On the other, you have the people who have no regard for the actor's personal spaces or comfort zones, and will do anything to get their pre-printed 8x10 glossy signed. Capturing the crowd's moments with the actors and each other was a moving look into the mindset of this very specific type of interaction. These people and these situations are one in a million, and something I will most likely continue to capture for the rest of my life.
