See all- Jazz on the Lawn/Governor’s Island Free Photo WalkPeter Minuit Plaza, New York, NY
The Jazz Age Lawn Party returns to Governor’s Island, so we are heading there to photograph it.
What is it? Jazz Age Lawn Part is the world’s original and most authentic Prohibition-era-inspired gathering. The Jazz Age Lawn Party attracts thousands of time travelers each year, who come dressed in 1920s attire. It offers a unique, interactive opportunity to relive one of the most colorful and formative epochs in American history.
For those of us who love street portraits and street photography, the people in costumes are prime targets — who usually love being photographed.
We'll take the *11am ferry (free before noon or $4 after) from the Battery Maritime Building in Manhattan to Governors Island. There are jaw-dropping views of Lower Manhattan both while on the ferry and along the north and and west sides of the Island. Besides Gotham to the north, there are lots of other things to shoot on the Island, including Fort Jay, the island's Revolutionary War fort.
We'll meet up at 10:30am in order to get ourselves assembled and queue up for the 11am ferry.
Note that we're meeting up closer to the Staten Island Ferry Terminal; then we'll walk the very short distance to the Battery Marine Terminal together.
