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.

KING STREET.

KING STREET, Matthew Mahoney, Founder & CEO of Daily Endeavor (and lifelong entrepenour) for Downtownfrombehind.

Matt is one of those people on a mission.  With his most recent company,Daily Endeavor, he’s on a mission to help 100MM people find their next job.  A lifelong entrepreneur, Matt has now created essentially a “wikipedia for jobs” - a job guide written by actual practitioners (that’s all of you). When he isn’t on a mission to reinvent education or inspiring an audience at TEDx, you can find Matt downtown where he has lived for more than ten years.  DFB shot Matt on one of his favorite downtown streets, King Street.  DFB.
