Discovering Your Perfect Match: Tips for

Choosing a Fashion Photographer in NYC

Starting Your Search

In the fashion capital of the world, finding a photographer who aligns perfectly with your brand’s vision isn’t just about luck; it's about strategy and insight. Whether you’re launching a new collection or revamping your brand’s image, the right New York City photographer can make all the difference.

Define Your Style and Vision

The first step is to clearly outline what you envision for your photoshoot. Are you looking for an edgy urban aesthetic or a classic elegance? Understanding your own needs will guide you in selecting a photographer whose artistic style matches your brand’s personality. For example, a luxury jewelry brand might seek a photographer who excels in capturing the intricate details and luxury feel, perhaps through a portfolio featuring close-up shots of exquisite pieces against the city's architectural backdrop.

Scrutinize Portfolios

A photographer’s portfolio is your window into their world. Evaluate their work for diversity, attention to detail, and storytelling ability. Look for photographers who not only have technical prowess but also a clear style that resonates with your brand. Consider a scenario where a fashion startup specializing in streetwear collaborates with a photographer known for their vibrant, street-style portraits, effectively capturing the essence of the brand’s youthful and bold designs.

Leverage Social Media and Networks

Social media platforms offer a live portfolio of a photographer’s most recent work and client interactions. Instagram, particularly, is rich with insights into a photographer's ongoing projects and style evolution. Additionally, tapping into your network for recommendations can lead to discovering photographers who have proven their ability to deliver outstanding results.

The Personal Connection

After narrowing down your choices, meet with potential photographers to discuss your project. This meeting is crucial—you’re looking for someone who isn’t just skilled but also easy to collaborate with. Their enthusiasm for your project and creative ideas can significantly influence the shoot's outcome.

I knew something was off about that translation I even pointed it out on twt and got harassed by the jimin is straight truthers (they're in full force after muse era which is so disappointing). Glad to know I was right thanks for posting that!

Anon, I’m so sorry that people were bothering you. Somehow the fandom has reached a point where people are harassed for having an opinion, even an opinion that isn’t harmful or combative.

I have to say, I’m mystified by the determination of some people to prove that Jimin is straight. Why is it important to them that people see Jimin as straight? It certainly doesn’t seem to be important to Jimin.

His conversation with Joon didn’t reveal that he’s “looking for a wife” or any other gendered hints about his personal life or about the meaning of Who.

And we can’t forget that Jimin wore a portrait of Robert Maplethorpe not once but twice during Face era. We’re talking about a photographer who’s best known for documenting the gay male B/D S/M subculture of the 60s and 70s in NYC. That’s pretty specific. Jimin knows that when he films a music video, it will be watched for years by so many people. I think it’s safe to say he was aware of whose picture he was wearing.

Of course, this isn’t proof of Jimin’s sexual identity, but it does show that he is not on a mission to tell the world he’s straight. So, why have certain fans decided they will make this their own mission?

I’d be so curious to have a civil conversation with some of these people who are out to prove his straightness, although I don’t think that’s possible. I wonder if they realize that Elton John, George Michael, and Ricky Martin all sang about women at one point or another. I wonder if they are aware they dated and/or were married to women at various points in their lives.

Anyway, of course it’s worth noting that Jimin used “she” during Who. But it’s also worth noting that his album is called Muse, and that muses are traditionally depicted as female. It’s also worth noting that we got an English version of Be Mine (plus the rest of the album) that didn’t include female pronouns.

We don’t know anything for sure unless Jimin chooses to tell us, but if we’re going to explore this topic, shouldn’t we look at the big picture and not just one song?

PS I almost saw IN A VIOLENT NATURE for the first time at an open air screening on Governor's Island, a popular NYC destination for outdoor entertainment and close-to-home glamping. I thought that was a great idea, but ultimately I skipped it because I wanted to see the film for the first time without the light pollution and ambient noise. They made this cool graphic for it, though...which immediately triggered comments section controversy about AI.

The social media person replied that the image was not AI-generated; though the "scene" does not take place in the movie, it is a photograph of a person wearing the screen costume, just doing something fun on Governor's Island to advertise their cool event. No matter what your general feelings are about AI in commercial art, we can probably all agree that it sucks that we have to have these onerous arguments about everything now.

For me, and I think for anyone who enjoys visual art, the medium matters--not because of some imaginary hierarchy of importance, but because different media have different effects, traditions, and implications. And because, with respect to AI, the statement "This really happened!" and the question "Wouldn't it be cool IF this really happened?" inspire very different responses. My personal, casual feeling is that AI art is OK as long as it is easily identifiable as such; like I've seen some really fun AI images whose particular kind of outrageousness makes appropriate use of that specific medium. I'm a "right tool, right job" person, I think some things should be paintings and some things should be photos, some things should be stage plays and some things should be movies. You should carefully choose your medium and exploit the unique qualities of that medium based on exactly what you're trying to accomplish. For this reason I think that AI images that are just trying to fake the effects of i.e. painting or photography kind of suck. And related to that I object to living in a world where we all just have to throw up our hands and say "Oh well, there's no way to know anymore whether something is physically-real or whether it's just a hypothetical representation of something that maybe-could-be real, I guess the only thing we can do is not give a shit about where anything comes from or how it got here and what that all means." For me, "There's no way to ever know anything for sure so who fucking cares" is not an acceptable default setting. (And I realize this is becoming the central issue of our day due to all kinds internet-enabled misinformation and I'm treading on the hem of a way bigger topic here, but never mind all that now...)

But still, I find myself just as annoyed with fakery as I am with people who instantly declare something to be fake. Frankly I think those guys are just scared of being fooled and so they're trying to preserve their own sense of superiority by declaring everything to be fake before they have any evidence one way or the other. This is a very different thing in its consequences, I know, but some of these guys sound just like the bigots who go around trying to clock random strangers as trans; they always have these ridiculous lists of "evidence" that turn out to be just as applicable to afab and amab people as they are to people who have transitioned. It's all roughly the same flavor of defensiveness from people who are scared of being tricked into believing or feeling something that will turn out to be a fraud. And I can sympathize with that to some degree, I don't wanna be tricked into believing in, for instance, awesome-looking photo shoots that never happened; like if you said it wouldn't matter to you if the photos Thierry Mugler shot on top of the Chrysler Building turned out to be digital fakes, then I would happily call you a liar. But what I really hate more than anything right now is this immediate effect where as soon as anything cool-looking appears online, we all have to have these contentious arguments where insecure jerks pound their chests about how un-foolable they are...and sometimes it turns out that the "AI art" is real and so their claims to amazing powers of perception are a big embarrassment. I guess my conclusion is that if everyone agreed to make AI imagery clearly identifiable in some way, then we could all stop having our good time spoiled by this paranoid bickering that has become the prerequisite for enjoying anything. But that's probably an impossible dream.

“Dive bar on the east side—where you at?” Taylor knows how to go out to places and not be photographed by paps. See: her now famously referenced first date with YB.

She also knows that if she goes to Nobu, the cameras are going to be waiting when she leaves so if she wants people to see her in NY right before leaving to go elsewhere so we all think NY is where she is—I mean, the woman is a self-proclaimed mastermind. She would absolutely do this, and Gigi would absolutely be in on it.

What’s the truth? Until Taylor and Matty are ready to go public together or with other people, it’s a choose your own adventure story. If they are together other than casually, I don’t think we’ll know for months. And people will choose to believe the crumbs that best support their own theories.

Agree. Taylor and Gigi could have had dinner before she flew to London. She could be in NYC relaxing with her gfs. Matty could be in his concrete house sleeping because he is exhausted. They could very well have blocked each other and never speak again. Anything is possible.

Affordable Creative Studio & Fabric Design Spaces in NYC

iscover Creative Studio Spaces in Queens and Fabric Design Studio Rentals in NYC

For artists, designers, and creators, having the right space to work is essential. New York City’s dynamic arts scene offers a wide array of options for those in need of a creative studio, and Queens has emerged as a prime location for artists looking for both affordability and inspiration. Meanwhile, fabric designers in NYC can find specialized studio rentals designed to support their unique creative processes. Whether you’re an artist in need of a studio in Queens or a fabric designer seeking the perfect setup in the city, both offer incredible opportunities to bring your artistic visions to life.

Queens: A Growing Hub for Creative Studio Spaces

Creative studio space queens has  quietly become a creative hotspot, attracting artists from all over due to its affordability and artistic community. Unlike the more expensive neighborhoods in Manhattan and Brooklyn, Queens offers studio spaces that don’t break the bank, allowing artists to focus on their craft rather than rent.

The borough’s diverse population adds to the creative energy in Queens. This multicultural atmosphere fosters artistic growth, creating an environment where new ideas and collaborations can easily take root. Whether you're a painter, photographer, sculptor, or digital artist, the broad range of studio spaces in Queens allows you to find a space that suits your needs. You can choose between private studios where you can concentrate on your work or shared spaces that encourage interaction with other artists.

One of the best things about Queens is its accessibility. With public transportation connecting the borough to other parts of New York City, including Manhattan and Brooklyn, artists based in Queens can easily stay connected to the larger art scene. It’s a place where you can have both — the vibrancy of city life and the peaceful space needed to create.

Beyond accessibility and affordability, Queens offers a sense of community that’s often hard to find in larger, more commercialized art hubs. Many of the studio spaces in Queens are part of larger artist collectives, which provide networking opportunities, workshops, and exhibitions. The sense of belonging to a creative community makes the studio rental experience in Queens more than just having a workspace — it’s about joining a movement.

Fabric Design Studios in NYC: A Dream for Textile Artists

For fabric designers, New York City holds a special appeal. As one of the world’s fashion capitals, NYC offers unparalleled resources for textile and fashion design. Renting a fabric design studio in the city provides the ideal environment for experimenting with textiles, patterns, and garment creation.

What makes fabric design studios in NYC stand out is the access to specialized equipment and facilities that are often included. Many of these spaces are equipped with large cutting tables, industrial sewing machines, and plenty of storage for fabrics and supplies. Designers can spread out their materials, test new techniques, and refine their craft without the spatial limitations often encountered in smaller studios or home offices.

The proximity to the Garment District is another key advantage of renting a fabric design studio in NYC. This area is home to fabric wholesalers, suppliers, and other industry professionals who play a critical role in bringing fashion projects to life. Designers can easily source materials, make connections, and attend events that are vital to their growth in the industry.

Beyond practical considerations, being in NYC places fabric designers at the heart of a vibrant design community. Whether it's attending exhibitions, visiting museums for inspiration, or participating in New York Fashion Week, fabric designers in the city are constantly surrounded by opportunities to learn, grow, and innovate.

Renting a studio space tailored to fabric design allows you to focus on your work in an environment designed specifically for your craft. It’s a space where creativity flows freely, where you can interact with fellow designers, and where the tools of your trade are at your fingertips.

Finding the Right Space for Your Creative Needs

Whether you're an artist in Queens or a fabric designer in NYC, finding the right studio is crucial to your creative process. Choosing the right space can make a significant difference in your work. The goal is to find a space that allows you to immerse yourself fully in your art, without distractions or limitations.

For artists in Queens, the affordability and range of available studio spaces make it easier to find a space that fits your needs. Whether you’re looking for a small private studio or a larger space where you can work alongside other creatives, Queens has options that allow you to create freely and without the pressure of high overhead costs.

Fabric designers in NYC, on the other hand, may require more specialized spaces. Finding a studio that has the necessary equipment, such as industrial sewing machines or dyeing areas, can be a game-changer. In a city like New York, where the fashion industry is at your doorstep, having a dedicated space to work on textiles and fabrics can help take your designs to the next level.

Both artists in Queens and Fabric design studio rental nyc should also consider the community aspect of their studio spaces. Many studios are part of larger creative networks that offer valuable opportunities for collaboration, learning, and exposure. Being part of a community can not only enrich your experience but also lead to professional growth.

Conclusion

Queens and NYC offer an incredible range of opportunities for creatives seeking the perfect studio space. Whether you’re looking for an affordable, flexible studio in Queens or a specialized fabric design studio in NYC, these spaces are more than just workrooms — they are environments where creativity is nurtured. Finding the right studio will allow you to focus on your art, join a vibrant community, and take your creative work to new heights

New York Nighttime Magic: Tips photographers 👉 https://bysumex.com/new-york-nighttime-magic-tips-photographers/

New York City transforms into a dazzling wonderland at night, where every street corner holds a bit of magic. For photographers, this is the golden hour—when the city’s vibrant energy comes to life under the glow of neon lights and towering skyscrapers. Here are some tips and top locations for capturing the best nighttime shots in NYC:

📸 Tips for Night Photography in NYC:

Use a Tripod: To avoid blurry shots in low light, a tripod is essential. It allows for long exposures, capturing the motion of the city while keeping stationary objects sharp.

Play with ISO: Start with a low ISO to minimize noise. If needed, gradually increase it to balance light sensitivity with image quality.

Long Exposure: Capture the hustle and bustle of the city with long exposure shots. This technique is perfect for getting those streaks of car lights or the flow of people.

Focus Manually: Autofocus can struggle in low light. Switch to manual focus to ensure your shots are crisp and clear.

Experiment with Angles: NYC offers endless perspectives. Get creative by shooting from different heights, whether it’s from a rooftop, street level, or even the reflection in a puddle.

Use Reflections: Look for reflections in puddles, windows, and other surfaces to create interesting compositions that capture the city’s lights in unique ways.

Mind the White Balance: Streetlights can cast a yellow hue over your images. Adjust your white balance to capture the true colors of the city.

🌆 Top Locations for Night Photography in NYC:

Brooklyn Bridge: Capture the iconic bridge with the Manhattan skyline as a backdrop. The view from the Brooklyn side, especially near Dumbo, is breathtaking at night.

Times Square: The heart of NYC, Times Square is a photographer’s paradise with its vibrant lights and bustling crowds. It’s the perfect spot for capturing the essence of the city that never sleeps.

Empire State Building: For an unbeatable view of the city, head to the Empire State Building’s observation deck. The panorama of NYC’s glittering skyline is unmatched.

Top of the Rock: Another excellent vantage point is the Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center. You’ll get a fantastic view of the Empire State Building and Central Park.

Central Park: At night, Central Park offers a serene contrast to the city’s hustle. The Bow Bridge and Bethesda Terrace are especially photogenic with soft lighting and reflections on the water.

Roosevelt Island Tramway: Ride the tram for a unique perspective of the city. The aerial view of Midtown Manhattan at night is a hidden gem for photographers.

Lower East Side: For a more gritty, urban vibe, explore the Lower East Side. The neon signs and murals make for vibrant, edgy photos.

One World Observatory: The views from the One World Trade Center at night are awe-inspiring, offering a bird’s-eye view of the city lights stretching far into the distance.

New York City at night is a photographer’s dream, full of contrasts, colors, and the electric energy that makes it one of the most photographed cities in the world. So grab your camera, head out into the night, and capture the magic!

When photographing New York City, especially at night, choosing the right lens can make a significant difference in capturing the city’s iconic skyline, street scenes, and vibrant energy. Here are some of the best lens options for NYC photography:

1. Wide-Angle Lens (14-24mm or 16-35mm):

Why? A wide-angle lens is essential for capturing the grandeur of NYC’s skyline, expansive cityscapes, and architectural shots. This lens allows you to fit more of the scene into your frame, making it perfect for shooting in tight spaces or for capturing the full scale of tall buildings and broad streets.

Recommended: Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8, Canon 16-35mm f/2.8, Sony 16-35mm f/2.8.

2. Standard Zoom Lens (24-70mm):

Why? A versatile standard zoom lens offers flexibility, allowing you to shoot wide-angle cityscapes, street scenes, and close-ups without changing lenses. The 24-70mm range is perfect for capturing the diversity of NYC, from wide shots of Times Square to more intimate street portraits.

Recommended: Canon 24-70mm f/2.8, Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8, Sony 24-70mm f/2.8.

3. Prime Lens (35mm or 50mm):

Why? Prime lenses with a fixed focal length offer excellent sharpness and low-light performance, making them ideal for street photography and night scenes in NYC. The 35mm lens is great for environmental portraits and wider street scenes, while the 50mm (“nifty fifty”) is perfect for classic street photography and portraits with a natural perspective.

Recommended: Sigma 35mm f/1.4, Canon 50mm f/1.2, Nikon 50mm f/1.8, Sony 50mm f/1.4.

4. Telephoto Lens (70-200mm):

Why? A telephoto lens is ideal for capturing distant details, such as the tops of skyscrapers, bridges, or compressing perspective for a unique view of the city’s architecture. It’s also great for isolating subjects and creating beautiful bokeh effects in portraits.

Recommended: Canon 70-200mm f/2.8, Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8, Sony 70-200mm f/2.8.

5. Ultra-Wide Lens (10-18mm or 12-24mm):

Why? For extreme perspectives and dramatic shots, an ultra-wide lens can capture the vastness of NYC’s streets or the interior of grand buildings like Grand Central Station. It’s a creative tool for emphasizing the scale and grandeur of the city.

Recommended: Canon 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6, Nikon 12-24mm f/4, Sony 12-24mm f/4.

6. Fast Aperture Lens (f/1.2 or f/1.4):

Why? Lenses with fast apertures (like f/1.2 or f/1.4) are invaluable for night photography in NYC. They allow more light into the camera, enabling you to shoot in low light without raising the ISO too high, which helps maintain image quality with minimal noise.

Recommended: Canon 50mm f/1.2, Sigma 35mm f/1.4, Sony 85mm f/1.4.

Each lens offers a unique perspective on New York City, allowing you to capture its many facets, from the towering skyscrapers to the intimate street scenes. Depending on your photography style and what you aim to capture, these lenses will help you get the most out of your NYC photo adventures

Jewish Wedding Photography in NYC/Brooklyn: Capturing Timeless Moments

Jewish weddings are rich in tradition, emotion, and vibrant cultural elements that make them unique and unforgettable. In the bustling areas of NYC and Brooklyn, Jewish wedding photography has evolved into an art form that blends traditional practices with modern aesthetics. This article explores the key aspects of Jewish wedding photography, the significance of capturing these moments, and tips for choosing the perfect photographer for your big day.

The Significance of Jewish Wedding Photography

Jewish weddings, known as “chuppahs,” are steeped in rituals that symbolize the union of two souls under the covenant of God. From the signing of the Ketubah (marriage contract) to the breaking of the glass, each moment holds deep meaning and emotional weight. Capturing these moments requires a photographer who not only understands the religious and cultural significance but also has the skill to immortalize them in a way that tells a beautiful story.

Choosing the Right Photographer

Understanding of Jewish Traditions:

It is crucial to select a photographer who is familiar with Jewish customs and rituals. This ensures they know where to be and when to capture key moments without disrupting the flow of the event.

Building a rapport with your photographer is essential. They will be with you throughout one of the most important days of your life, so feeling comfortable with them can make a huge difference in the quality of the photos.

Tips for a Successful Wedding Photoshoot

Pre-Wedding Consultation:

Discuss your vision, preferences, and any specific shots you want. Share the wedding schedule and key traditions with your photographer.

Timing and Lighting:

Jewish weddings often include events that happen at different times of the day. Ensure your photographer is skilled in working with varying lighting conditions, from bright outdoor chuppahs to dimly lit receptions.

Capturing Emotions:

The best wedding photos are those that capture genuine emotions. Encourage your photographer to focus on candid moments and interactions that tell the story of your day.

Group Photos:

Plan and communicate in advance about group photos to ensure smooth and organized sessions, especially when dealing with large families.

Your Guide to a Seamless NYC City Hall Wedding Ceremony

Master the steps for a smooth NYC City Hall wedding with our detailed ceremony guide. From paperwork to photography, plan your perfect day

Your Guide to a Seamless NYC City Hall Wedding Ceremony

Choosing NYC City Hall for your wedding ceremony is not just about enjoying its historical charm; it's also about appreciating the straightforward, no-fuss process that allows you to focus on what truly matters—your union. This guide walks you through each step of the ceremony process at City Hall, ensuring that your day goes as smoothly as possible.

Arrival and Security

Your City Hall wedding day begins the moment you step onto its iconic grounds. Security at City Hall is tight but efficient, designed to ensure the safety and privacy of your special moment. Arrive at least 30 minutes before your appointment to allow ample time for the security check. Remember, less is more—bring only what you need to minimize hold-ups at security.

Marriage License Presentation

Once inside, you’ll present your marriage license, which you should have applied for at least 24 hours in advance. This step is crucial, as no ceremony can proceed without it. Ensure all documents are in order and easily accessible to avoid any last-minute scrambles.

Paperwork and Payment

With your license presented, some paperwork will finalize the legality of your union. This typically involves signing a few forms and settling any fees associated with the ceremony. These fees are modest, reflecting the simplicity of the process, and can be paid via cash or credit card.

The Waiting Area

After the paperwork, you'll move to the waiting area, a space where anticipation builds as you await your turn. This is a great time for your photographer to capture candid shots of you and your guests in a relaxed setting. These pre-ceremony moments can be some of the most heartfelt and genuine, so it’s worth discussing with your photographer beforehand what kind of shots you’d like.

The Ceremony

The ceremony itself is quick—usually no more than five minutes—but it’s packed with emotion. The magistrate or clerk will guide you through your vows in a ceremony that, despite its brevity, feels deeply personal and intimate. Photographers like myself thrive in capturing the rapid succession of fleeting, meaningful exchanges that define City Hall weddings.

Photography Session

After the official ceremony, take advantage of the architectural beauty of City Hall for your photography session. Whether it’s the grand staircase, the elegant columns, or the bustling steps outside, each offers a unique backdrop that reflects the urban charm of NYC. Discuss with your photographer the spots you’d like to feature in your photos to ensure a smooth and efficient post-ceremony shoot.

Conclusion

Your NYC City Hall wedding will be one of the most memorable days of your life, not just for the simplicity and beauty it offers but for the ease with which you can navigate the process. With a little preparation and the right photographer, you can turn a quick ceremony into a lifelong treasure of beautiful memories.

Spider-Man Read-Through 060 What If Gwen Stacy Had Lived (ASM 213, Ann 14, WI 24)

MASTERPOST

In this post: a cliffhanger, another cliffhanger, and fanservice, yay!

Intriguing premise!

Our story begins with the Magician being broken out of the Ryker's Island's prison by a mysterious being, whose powers extend to summoning a kraken... Alrighty.

Cut to Peter's appartment in Chelsea!

So... aside from Peter's beauty, it's pretty clear that he's not serious about his relationship with Debra. "Not the most exciting thing in the world"? Come on! That's a mean thought, hahaha.

So Peter is so sex-deprived that he gets a boner as soon as he sees a woman he's actually attracted to. Alright. Let me help you with that.

I don't mind Peter being a gigantic ass in this era, I find him still very compelling. He has his date with Debbie, where they kiss, and when he leaves, he thinks to himself that for him, Debbie's "a nice kid. Period." Damn.

When he gets back to his apartment, Peter finds that his suit is mostly color-less now. Oops.

While our hero tries to get a crime he heard about on the radio, he ponders on his legitimacy as a hero. That's nice to see! I'm curious on whether this is going to be addressed in a major way soon.

Unfortunately for our villains, they don't get to catch Spidey with their trap. Another time, perhaps! Or... perhaps they put a tracer on him.

And here's Peter, going back to his apartment, sawing a new costume and getting a call from Debbie but soon distracted by his new neighbor knocking at his door. She's here to inform here that a tenant meeting will take place on the roof half an hour later. He's obviously interested.

However, Jameson calls him and soon, our photographer has a mission--men in trapped in the subway! The task is quickly taken care of.

On his way back, Spidey finds the Wizard on the roof, as well as his acolyte. They have a quick fight but soon, the Wizard sets the nearby roof on flame. Either they're captured, or Spidey saves his neighbors. He chooses the latter, but just as he's about to save Wino Charlie, a drunk man, the roof crumbles...

And that's where our issue ends! We'll continue that storyline later, in a few posts... but it's very Frightful, from what I've seen!

Annual 14 is a story that features Spidey, Dr. Strange, Dr. Doom and Dormammu, but I'm not that interested. I checked it just to be thorough, the one part that's interesting to us is that Peter and Debra have another terrible date. Nothing new under the sun!

More interesting is What If #24, What If Spider-Man Had Rescued Gwen Stacy!

Oh, hello Gil Kane!

So Gwen died a year ago and Peter reminisces about it, until The Watcher says his favorite words, "What If".

So Spidey and Gwen both fall in the water, leaving the Green Goblin to believe that they're done for. But they emerge not far away from there, and Peter gives CPR to Gwen.

She wakes up, is angry to learn that Peter is the man whomst she believes has killed her father (nice bit of continuity there!), but she still listens to Peter's story.

And because the circumstances aren't already messy enough, Peter asks for Gwen's hand right then and there. That's also sorta consistent, given that at the time, Peter did think about that.

She accepts.

Meanwhile, the Goblin has come to see the crime leaders of NYC. He says that he killed Spidey, but naturally, the latter appears. As the fight goes on, the Goblin gets convinced that he'll effectively die at the hands of Spidey (who sure isn't going to tell him otherwise) and has a last resort idea.

Is this for Doc Ock?

Anyway, the Green Goblin flees. At home, he tells his son of his identity, and Harry wants him to surrender. He's on Peter's side! That's nice to see.

However, when Spidey arrives, Harry's loyalties conflict.

I think he'll die, which I don't like one bit...

Harry's love for his father seems to convince Norman to surrender...

It's always nice to see Peter have *some* kind of appreciation for Harry.

May welcomes the news with obvious joy. It's time for the wedding!

Oh, I do love me some suspenders and bromance. The hair touch! Not very heterosexual, mister.

It's time for the ceremony...

Uh-oh. Me no likie that. Jameson, absent? I fear he may have received one specific package...

And he sure intervenes! Jameson crashes the wedding with cops, accusing Peter of being Spidey, and May has a heart attack.

Flash tries to convince Peter to surrender (because they can't have a shooting in a church!), but Peter is not happy about that idea. Instead, he escapes.

Robbie lets Jameson know that he has one less city editor.

That's a great scene. And then we've got an epilogue!

Oh, I love that. That was a very enjoyable read. I want to know what would happen next!!!!

Apparently, there's no continuation of this, but it's such a compelling idea. It even made me want to rewatch No Way Home hahaha

Does anyone have a story about Peter's secret being revealed? I remember it happened in Civil War, but by this time, I think he had protection already. But this Peter is much younger, almost helpless.
