Despite what can only be described as near-Icelandic wind conditions, Newburghers turned up as an elemental force of their own to our pop-up portrait shoot on March 1 at ADS Warehouse. The gallery space was a cozy spot to hang with the city’s proud residents. Thanks to Gita Nandan and ADS Warehouse for hosting us and to the Newburghers who showed up to rep their city.
