Love, Humidity and the Scent of Burning Street Meat – 2/365 #StreetSaturday

Mike — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 18:30:58 +0000

Love, Humidity and the scent of Burning Street Meat weighed heavy on the air of this hot summer night in June, 2009. I couldn’t resist the platter of chicken and rice that I had smelled from a block away and the concurrent opportunity to capture the brilliant lighting scenario this street vendor was inadvertently providing. Most pedestrians hustled past this brightly lit Halal cart on the Upper East Side, but this couple walked hand in hand like they were the only two people left on earth. [Yea, I know, I too just threw up in my mouth a little bit too, lol, but I still really like the photo.] This NYC street photograph reminds me of hot summer nights, while I try to survive through this damn cold winter.

I hope you enjoyed this moment. I’ve got so many photographs that have not yet seen the light of day. It’s my intent to share them with you on a daily basis. If you like what you see, I encourage you to visit my website, subscribe to the blog, and Follow me on Twitter.

Also, I strongly advise you to Have a Happy New Year as well ! !

Emilio Sparks x Captain America x CDR x HomeBaseNYC

Emilio Sparks recently interviewed with the Crack Distributors Radio crew at PNC Radio, in Dumbo, Brooklyn. Emilio, being the character he is, invited a few special guests of his own… The one and only Captain America aka Joe So Delicious, and Mike Shane Photography. How’s that for an entourage? The reaction was nothing short of priceless and hilarity ensued! This particularly cold Wednesday in December was also the birthday celebration night for the lovely Alice of Homebase NYC. I’m told Alice is a huge comic book buff, so we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to crash her party with a 6′ 6″ tall bona fide superhero!

Here’s a couple of my favorite shots from the night. You can view the full gallery on my website —> HERE!

Guy in elevator: "Where do you get a suit like that..." Emilio: "Back off, this is government issue, buddy!!"

Side-eyeballing a spectator, Captain America was not amused.

Happy Birthday @aWonderlandnyc !!
