Scout Stories is a full-color, digest-sized collection of short stories about personal encounters and experiences from my nineteen years of working as a movie location scout in New York and Los Angeles. Each issue is organized around a central theme and is illustrated with my original photography.
Scout Stories #3 is the “Hidden New York” issue, a collection of my all-time favorite “hiding in plain sight” surprises and sights that I happened to come across during my decade of scouting for movies and TV shows in New York City. All still exist to this day, and can be viewed without any special permission, at most requiring a peak through a fence.
Article titles include:
- The Brownstone
- The Farmhouse
- The Old Well
- Lost At Sea
- The Pizza Place
- The Statue
- The Wizard of Park Avenue
- And many more…
There’s also a special section devoted to Chinatown Fair, the legendary Chinatown arcade world-renowned for both its video game selection and a Tic-Tac-Toe-playing chicken. Over the years, Scouting NY readers have shared fond memories of their days spent at the now-defunct arcade dating back to the 1940s, and I’ve compiled them into an abbreviated oral history.
This issue is 44 pages. The cover price includes shipping in the United States; international shipping is an additional $6.
