• Social Distancing • Using my Vespa, I rode around New York to ask friends/fellow freelancers/artist if I can take their portrait from a sidewalk using a telephoto lens. And to share their stories during this uncertain times. ——————————————————————————— “I’ve never had a more positive and productive time in my life. While most have been forced into a place of social discomfort, this has spun a new era of self-reflection and appreciation for the qualities we value in others, ourselves and our lives. We finally get to observe these idiosyncrasies, on a more transparent and vulnerable level that make and shape us as individuals – allowing one to uniquely shine through or to just be stifled amongst those who have internalized the deviation in normalcy. Professionally, I am grateful to have this fortuitous opportunity for the reinvention of standard business operations, and how we might now approach luxury consumerism in a world that may inherently shift its marketing focus. To be faced with a new set of demographics, or to be questioned on radical strategy – all ultimately to reinvent what and how we know as marketers and transform into economists, this is now, and this is living. You, us, we and they come first – driven to continuously provide unparalleled experiences and making those aspirational luxuries now attainable. It’s here I can’t stop doing what I love, as we help curate every impression you make.” Michael J. Snell #socialdistancing #newyork #corona
