I came home last night to discover fake drama set up on the corner of my block in the form of the set of "Law & Order SVU." The light flooding into my living room alone was ridiculous but watching Christopher Malone and Mariska Hargitay run into the million dollar brownstone a few doors down from me in pursuit of some unseen assailant was priceless. The cops never come that quickly in this neighborhood when real violence is being committed.
I shot most of my set with my telephoto lens which was a bit surreal. I mean all the lighting work was done for me. I just had to shoot. Ten other people in surrounding brownstones may have been doing the same thing. It was a very open set. That's the most fun my telephoto has had in a long time.
