A year ago I brought my camera to the election night party and managed to capture one of the first moments @zohrankmamdani greeted the people of NYC as @nycmayor - along with the equally historic moment of trying to coordinate the video team group photo. So grateful to have made this journey with @butlikesrsly @karamccurdy @schweppestein @boringstein @olivialola_b & everyone who supported us as @meltedsolids I love you all 💫 03 Nov 2026

Zohran Mamdani’s video team relies on improvisation more than you might think, making sure to prioritize the message and getting it across effectively. @nycmayor’s Creative Director for Video, Donald Borenstein, spoke to a crowd at Social Media Week about how he and his team approach social video shoots and why it's important to lean into the "imperfections," reframing them as opportunities. As many folks say, restriction is where creativity is born. 20 Jun 2026

Today is election day. This city is often sold to you by people who do not know this place as cold and hostile, a bustling rat’s nest where no one will give you the time of day. That is a lie. In truth, New York City is the kindest city on earth. The world’s largest 3rd space, one forged by communities that look out for each other in good times and bad, by strangers who are far more patient than they are ever given credit for, by neighbors who you share a life with in piecemeal, by friends you didn’t even know you had until last call at a bar. There are sad, lonely petty tyrants in this world, isolated by their own greed, who see this vast, beautiful, diverse place and recoil. They see the vast tapestry of human life here and think about how they can tear out the copper wire. We have lived in their vision of New York for more than 30 years. We can change that today. We can take one giant leap towards an affordable city with room for everyone- room for people whose entire lives are enmeshed here and struggling to stay afloat, room for people freshly arriving from all corners of the globe looking for a better life, room for you and me and everyone you love and are irritated by alike. We all deserve it. And it doesn’t have to come from pitting the working class against itself. A life of basic dignity for all in New York isn’t just possible- it cannot wait. But you don’t have to wait anymore. Today, if you haven’t voted yet, and you’re here, you have a beautiful opportunity. You have a chance to cast the most powerful ballot of your lifetime. You have a chance to help win a city where families can afford to stay here. Where the bus will always be there for you, no matter what’s in your pocket. Where slashed benefits and supermarket monopolies don’t mean you’re out of options. Where you know your city and your neighbors will stand up for you even when our federal government wants to tear this place apart. Most of all, you have a chance to vote for a city that actually serves you. And so I ask you today to vote for @zohrankmamdani, because I believe in this vision of NYC. I hope you do too.

Posting this on the grid for posterity…last Friday afternoon, after a very long campaign week, @boringstein called me to let me know that @zohrankmamdani was planning on walking the entire length of Manhattan. At night. In a heat wave. Within 3 hours and many group chats later, Donald masterfully assembled a crew of shooters, myself included, to film Zohran starting in Inwood all the way to Battery park (organizers like them are the original producers). The next day I cut this video. I tried my best to capture that wild, hot, utterly joyful evening. I’m extremely proud of this and the reach it has had. But I want to be very clear: viral videos did not win this election. The videos merely captured what was already happening on the ground, which was the result of years of deep organizing (love you @nycdsa) relentless canvassing from tens of thousands of volunteers, Zohran’s generational talent and most of all, the people of NYC. I’ve never loved my city more than I did that Friday night. I can’t wait for everyone to experience the future I got a glimpse of under @zohrankmamdani leadership. The work is just getting started. Steller camera and organizer crew who made it all happen: . @boringstein @karamccurdy @schweppestein @romkeh @tedmaniatakos @elliusbellius and @butlikesrsly @anthonydimieri who were there in spirit and set the bar insanely high 26 Jun 2025

[epilepsy warning] reluctantly returning to the grid- i keep telling myself itl be to post one of the thousands of photos i have kicking around but instead its gonna be this sloppily edited timelapse. made this by rigging frankenwide - a 0.7x camcorder wide angle on a laowa 7.5mm on a gh5- on a “rig” consisting of a few 15mm rails strapped to the front of a grey citibike. i blindly played with the shutter speed a bit during the ride without really looking at the screen to avoid, uh, dying. the goal here was to really convey the lack of shock absorbers on these grey citi ebikes going over bumpy city streets - something that i acquainted myself vividly with a couple years ago- and dare i say, i was a bit too successful. not just an epilepsy warning, accordingly, but also a nausea one. lets see if instagram lets me keep the music here. also give us back the grid 13 May 2025
