My name is Anthony Mulcahy. Starting in the fall of 2023 I have spent a couple of days a week shooting rolls of film in Washington Square Park. As a digital photographer by trade (live music events mostly) it was time to slow down and go back to basics. At the beginning I wasn’t aware that this would become a project, but pretty quickly I was surrounded every day by some of the most creative people that New York City has to offer. From fashion icons to musicians, poets, and painters, Washington Square Park is a constant hive of activity. Creatives seem to attract creatives and as I began to see familiar faces I started making portraits. Everyone has a story to tell and most of the people I have photographed told me so much about themselves without ever saying a word. Over 100 rolls of film have currently been shot and my favorite film stock is Vision3 250D. With a friend of mine we have developed all these rolls ourselves. My camera is a Canon EOS1N from 1994.
