This was taken while on a trip to New York City. As I exited the Whitney Museum for their Biennial, I saw this motley crew sitting on the wall outside. I quickly checked how many exposures I had left, which happened to be a single frame. I positioned myself to where only one noticed my presence and took the photo. Turns out they are fellow art students who were debating the importance of post-post modern art.

Taken with Hasselblad 500CM, 80mm T* lens, Kodak T-Max 100.

    Great shot, man. You really can't tell what era this is coming from; it could just as easily be 1969 as 2009! One of the beautiful things about a Hasselblad, I suppose.
