The Original Trailer Park Lounge, NYC
The last time I travelled to teach hair cutting was in 2019 to Norfolk, VA with the guys from Davines. On the way home, I stopped in New York for a couple of days, and the kind people from Davines took me hand dryer hunting. This bar was the first one we went to, and it was heaving. I ran in, took the photo, and we went on our way. I wasn't expecting to be exhibiting images at that point, so when the chance did arrive to have a physical show, I decided that I wasn't happy with what I'd captured. So a year later, with the cheapest flight I've ever seen to New York, in early 2020, I went back. There were a few places on my list, but this was the one that I had down as a priority. By now, though, my book had been released so I could show people more concretely what I was up to. The barman loved it and gave me his blessing to go fill my boots with as many pictures as I like. This has been my best-selling image from day one. It's the first picture in my book, and it's the one that captures people the second they see it. I love everything about it, the hand-painted dryer and the googly eyes on one of the parrots it took me over a year to notice. The boy's bathroom wasn't half as exciting, which is something I've come to expect.
What is the difference between Open Edition and Limited Edition prints?
Open edition prints only come in one size and are simply printed on Matt Archival paper and shipped straight to you. There is no limit to how many will be printed.
Limited Edition prints are typically printed on a Gloss paper, come in several sizes and finish options (framing / acrylic mount), and are signed and editioned by Sam. There are a limited number printed in each size and once they're gone they're gone.

Samuels art makes our house feel alive and vibrant. I am forever finding new details within each image. Samuel was extremely helpful when helping us find the perfect images for our home. He was always extremely friendly and personable as well as highly professional.

His work is so unique and arresting. He is somehow able to capture the 'ordinary' in a way that makes it feel truly extraordinary. I'm so excited to see his work in our home.

Could we ever need more insight than we do now about how to dry our hands in washrooms while touching almost nothing? Samuel Ryde, a British photographer, pays homage to air blowers
