SCOTT GORDON BLEICHER PHO(BLOG)GRAPHY

Next month I’ll be showing a select number of photographs from my Tokyo Juxtaposed series at Supercore in Brooklyn.

The opening event is set for Thursday, February 11th at 7pm and the show will run through the middle of March.

There will be drinks (of the caffeinated and the alcoholic variety), there will be live music of one kind or another (to be announced soon), there will be professional networking, there will be Japanese tapas,

and hopefully, there will be you.

See you there.

For the past year, I’ve been shooting residential interiors for Airbed & Breakfast, a web-based service and marketplace ‘allowing anyone from private residents to commercial properties to rent out their extra space.’

Although still a relatively new service, as of this writing Airbed & Breakfast already boasts listings in 108 countries and 2,174 cities, has been featured in The New York Times and Time Magazine and on CNN, amongst many others.

I cover the New York City market.

(Mental note: Get them to start sending me to those 2,173 other cities.)

…

Though it hardly sounds like a glamorous photo gig, the steady work has allowed me the unique opportunity to step into the homes of an interesting cross section of New Yorkers, from Brooklyn hipsters to Wall Street investment bankers to Barry Manilow’s drummer, and photograph….

their bedrooms.

Listings on the AirBnB online marketplace include ‘vacation rentals, private rooms, entire apartments, bed and breakfasts, boutique hotels, castles, treehouses, and many other traditional and non-traditional accommodations.’

While the bulk of my photo assignments have fallen into the traditional accommodations camp, a few of my favorite spaces/shots can be seen below.

…

So the next time you find yourself on the road, be it for a business meeting or an escape from business, try staying with the locals instead of the Hiltons.

You just might save some money and make some friends along the way.
