I knew all along that family life was very important to Ramon. For this reason, I really wanted to get a lot of shots at his home, in order to really illustrate what his everyday life was like. However, he felt that this was a bit too intrusive, and he didn't want cameras in his home. But as much as he would allow, I still wanted to get shots of other aspects of his life, especially his family, and to show a more complete picture of the real life of a New York City musician.
The
closest I got to his home was a cafe around the corner from where he
lives in Astoria, Queens. Besides having this as a substitute for his
home life, I also saw the value of this setting for an interview
location because I wanted some setting that was more casual, and more
laid back than his working environment. This cafe kind of gave an
idea of how he might try to relax, if he had a minute. We were lucky
that the good people at Leli's Bakery were ok with this.
