BUTCHER’S BIKE: a quick take with JOSH MELARA from STANDING’S BUTCHERYTHE day was ripe for a ride and I also wanted some ramen. I’d promised Sophia I’d come to visit. It’s been months since she left Gjusta.
SCHROEDINGER’SI’ve been taking photographs since 2009 so I guess I can finally say I’ve done something for “over a decade.” It’s getting pretty close with restaurant work too; I don’t know if there’s any correlation there…
