The Walkmen
Core77 is pleased to partner with Windows Phone to bring you a series of photo diaries this summer. Based on the theme of Reinvention, we’re looking to capture the fleeting moments and highlight the often-overlooked facets of the world around us through the lens of the Nokia Lumia 928, especially in the low-light settings in which its camera excels. (All photos were taken with the Nokia Lumia 928 smartphone and are published without postproduction unless otherwise noted.)

It seems that there is an art/music/food and/or etc. festival every weekend here in New York City: this past weekend alone saw the Renegade Craft Fair, Make Music New York and the Mermaid Parade, among dozens of other events.
The Northside Festival, a celebration of music and multimedia, was the highlight of last weekend. The weather held up for the two-day lineup of outdoor concerts at the multi-purpose recreational area adjacent to McCarren Park, the nexus of the festival (satellite events took place throughout Williamsburg). About a dozen food and drink vendors extended along one corner of the concrete expanse while the stage occupied another corner; the Walkmen and Solange headlined Saturday and Sunday, respectively. The sets ended at 8pm sharp, due to local sound ordinances or other vagaries of public space usage, but the waning sunlight proved to be quite flattering for the performers.
Looking toward the Red Bull Creation tent from the concert area
However, the large tent opposite the comestibles proved to be the most interesting attraction. As with Garrison Architects’ modular structures at Rockaway Beach, I was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon the Red Bull Creation innovation competition—not just as a sight to behold but also because I had the Nokia Lumia 928 on hand to document the projects.
