Well folks, the totals are in.  Between the funds collected on Halloween and the prints that were subsequently ordered, brian dorsey studios’ second annual tribeca costume collection raised over $1100 for UNICEF.

Thank you to everyone in our Tribeca neighborhood, parents and kids alike, who helped participate in making this year’s efforts so successful.  And a special shout out to Lance Lapin for hosting us in front of his Salon on West Broadway, and to Kim,  Lindsay and Celeste who freely gave of their time to help us pull this off.

Funds raised will be going to help eliminate childhood hunger, thirst, disease and illiteracy around the world.

We took just over 900 images during the 3 hour shoot (averaging a shot every 20 seconds) and a number of times people were lined up 12 and 16 deep.  Many thanks to Lance Lappin who provided us with sidewalk space in front of his salon as well as power and wine.  A special thanks to Lindsey and Kim and Celeste for donating their Saturday afternoon for a good cause – and to my kids – who trick or treated without their mother and father so we could do this for the neighborhood and for UNICEF.

Here’s a few highlights – leading off with Cole as Link from the Zelda series of games in a costume his mother and I made.

Dot and Toto.

A lion who can really roar.

This amazingly brilliant “American Gothic”.

Another wonderful costume – the marionette.

A group of friends traveling together – I personally was quite fond of the witch in her pink glasses.

A very cool William Wallace.

And I have to throw in this shot of both my boys with Kim, our studio manager, who makes just the cutest damn kitten.

Parents can download images of their kids free of charge from the Client Area of our website or order prints from Pictage.  All proceeds go to UNICEF to help children in need worldwide.

Thanks again everyone!
