Young chef, The Bowery, New York City, New York, 2009

Objects in windows can make fascinating photographs. Such is the case with this figure of a child dressed as a chef, which calls attention to the goods displayed in a restaurant supply shop on The Bowery. Coloration is the key to expression – the blue eyes are haunting. They seek us out and won’t let go.

That's why I made the image, Rusty. It's the vivid blue eyes that seize the imagination here and bring it to life. He begs us to look at him. And from the stores' point of view, it serves as an invitation to enter.

a compelling and mysterious figure, beautifully photographed. it's alive, or at least it's a hook for the store...
