Soccer at McCarren Park

This morning the official temperature in Central Park was "freezing", but looking at the final portraits from the shoot at McCarren Park on September 6ths reminds me of the sweltering humidity of an impending storm from hurricane Ike.

Brooklynites who were unphased by the weather included a number of young soccer players who had games on the field near Driggs and Lorimer.
Along with many players, was pleased to photograph Dewey and Katherine Thompson, who started the youth soccer league who were playing at the park.

Saturday stroll in the park

Most people in the park at 11 am were using the track or racketball courts. We were so pleased that this couple posed in their party attire.

McCarren Park

I was undeterred by the ominous forecast. Daniel Quinn and Ryan Roth joined me to help out at McCarren Park in Williamsburg this Saturday. Ryan and Dan literally chased down subjects as we raced the storm. Despite the extreme humidity and black clouds, the park was full of Little League Soccer, shoppers on their way back from the Green Market, bikers and dog walkers.

The rain has let up. We will be at McCarren Park from 10:30 until the rain returns.

If Hanna doesn't keep us in. We will be at McCarren Park tomorrow. Look for our studio near Driggs and Union. If you are going to come out to the shoot, check back tomorrow morning for weather updates.
