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.

LAIGHT STREET.
LAIGHT STREET, Cory Margolis of Mantiques Modern (holding a mid century gun trade sign as a prop) and below with his son Mason for Downtownfrombehind.
Objects, Art, Furniture, Things. Clear your diary, you’ll need at least the afternoon to explore Mantiques Modern 4000 sq ft show room come gallery space. Its incredible.
Corey is holding a mid 20th Century Gun Trade Sign as a prop for Downtownfrombehind shoot. Corey’s favorite thing in store right now is a beautiful surreal bronze of an eye and teardrop. Mason’s favorite thing in store right now is a mid century hand made wooden transporter truck. The most unusual thing at Mantiques Modern could be the elephant skull or limited edition lichtenstein pyramid. DFB likes the rat painting, the Arthur Court polished aluminum horse head ice bucket and the rare Hermes cigar box. Mantiques Modern is at 146 West 22nd Street (between 6th & 7th). Thanks Corey, Mason and Cole. DFB.
