Gob Iron Ready for Their Close Up

Photo shoots in New York City are always a bit more treacherous than in other places... I don't know if those were Jay Farrar's exact words, but it was something along those lines. And, well, he'd definitely know better than I would.

The shoot was for Gob Iron -- Jay's side band with Anders Parker (whose debut album is out on Halloween!). After roaming around a bit and taking a several shots near an old abandoned lot/overpass area on 40th & 10th, we made our way -- through the bustling people, honking traffic, and around a Hummer that insisted on stopping right on the crosswalk.

We took a few shots on the street by a suspiciously empty-looking appliance store. There were a couple of fish markets in the area, and wow, did it smell....er, lovely.

But the folks at a cozy nearby tapas bar called Cafe Andalucia were kind enough to let us shoot inside, so we wrapped things up in there.

Just another NYC photo shoot.

Photographer Jim Franco was awesome, and Jay and Anders were real troopers. We should have some cool photos.
