downtownfrombehind (DFB) is a photographic series capturing subjects riding their bike from behind on some 200+ streets, avenues and lanes below 14th street in New York City.
The result is an environmental portrait for each street and subject with a goal to highlight a set of individuals, emerging and established, each uniquely contributing; culturally, socially and physically, to make this part of the city what it is today.
The project has been widely covered in the press, from New York Times, Huffington Post, Coolhunting, Vogue, Nylon Magazine and many blogs (thankyou).
Subjects photographed to date include industrial designers, architects, creative directors, restauranteurs, entrepreneurs, hoteliers, artists and academics.

HENRY STREET.
HENRY STREET, Chad Phillips, Kidrobot design maven, iPhone app developer, art show producer and retail consultant (among other things) on a Vintage 3 Speed 1973 Triumph from Landmark Bicycles for Downtownfrombehind.
After spending the last few years creating magic for Kidrobot, Chad recently started creating iPhone apps, producing art shows and retail consulting, among other things. BadCamera is his first app, it mimics all the weird stuff analog cameras do in a cute devious package; check out Light Leak, 90’s Borders, Emulsion Leak and Damaged Expired Film (used on our out-take). DFB met Chad at one of his other endeavors, the New York Creative Social Concern Ltd. (most definitely worth getting on the mailing list), a nomadic monthly gathering of creatives from various disciplines he does with Joe Doucet. More from Chad www.chadphillipsnyc.com DFB.
