"It’s funny how much I repeat, 'I love you' in succession. I literally say it three times in a row, which makes things difficult for me because I know I have to make it sound authentic on the stage, when in reality it's really weird and funny." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3afd7d9f07f5e27845be07/1513823051712-29OAXIVJZ0V4VHO30Z5L/IMG_1446.jpg Photography Gainer and his friend Justice Jones, a fellow first year Tisch drama student of the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute, walk on the Bowery at dusk. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3afd7d9f07f5e27845be07/1513820174108-8VI8YPQ94JJZLIP9FSAP/IMG_0602.jpg Photography C.J. Gainer, 18, of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, files into his first class of the day at Stella Adler Studio of Acting in New York City on Friday, Oct. 6, 2017. "Being an actor at the Stella Adler Studio tells me that I am not alone in what I feel actors are responsible for, and it gives me hope that there will be many others who want to create depth in art like I do." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3afd7d9f07f5e27845be07/1513822743153-GXBP7EQI5562CWIQWCDP/IMG_1377+copy+2.jpg Photography Lady Gaga, Rihanna and editorial clippings keep company with Gainer in his dorm room. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3afd7d9f07f5e27845be07/1513821217505-H7N0L98STP6QJFYSC5T1/IMG_0978.jpg Photography Gainer and classmates Gaby Heckler and Ruby Harvey share a laugh in the lobby of the acting studio during lunch in between classes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3afd7d9f07f5e27845be07/1513823349368-ZN426DWMHB5A9X3PEKMA/IMG_1544.jpg Photography When not acting or hanging out with friends Gainer likes to find inspiration on Instagram, where he posts his own videos on '80s fashion or whatever is interesting him most in the moment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3afd7d9f07f5e27845be07/1513822889342-RS1ZYKME8XF6CWDVA8UV/IMG_1416.jpg Photography Gainer dons his second outfit of the day. "My style and my clothes are a huge part of me as a person, so how I present myself to the public is important. I don't think I could ever just not care about what I am wearing. I am constantly changing my outfit whenever I go back to my room." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3afd7d9f07f5e27845be07/1513823188795-JN7MQ13HNJC2ZBR9NKC4/IMG_1461.jpg Photography Gainer and Jones chat over draft coffee in Greenwich Village in the early evening. "We talk about tons of things. We joke, we gossip, we talk about what we do everyday. Sometimes things get deep and we talk about the world, politics, how much we hate Trump, racial stereotypes and injustices, what drives us as people and our futures." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3afd7d9f07f5e27845be07/1513820844257-KBXV6YUGFXZ3XVNF49JK/IMG_0688.jpg Photography Gainer stretches on the floor with other students before their voice and speech class. "I was listening to a podcast from one of my favorite actresses Carrie Coon, and in it she was talking about the importance of breathing in her voice and speech class, and how without it she wouldn't be able to stay 'in the moment.'" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3afd7d9f07f5e27845be07/1513821442534-ILX86B5MUC2WFJQT2VZ9/IMG_1104.jpg Photography Gainer and his scene partner Genevieve Goodman rehearse lines from Arthur Miller's "All My Sons" as they cross Fifth Avenue in the Flatiron District after class. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3afd7d9f07f5e27845be07/1513824433977-BG7VWY8HMPEOZY6RYYRH/toned+IMG_0095.jpg Photography I don’t really like where I’m living at by the Navy Yard by Farragut because it’s the projects, and I don’t like it. It’s not dangerous, it’s just like when you look at it, it’s like ‘damn you really poor,’ but I’m not poor. I’m in the eleventh grade. I plan on going to college and be a nurse. When you look at school, it’s so expensive. How am I going to afford this if I live in the projects? It’s kind of a daily thought. But I don’t bother, at least I have shelter. I want to get out of New York. Get to maybe like New Jersey, because I’ve seen some nice houses in New jersey, or Florida, with my dad. But just like get a nice house, a nice backyard, have two dogs, a pool; that’d be nice, that’s my dream. But here in New York, they don’t have that much, just buildings and apartments for a million dollars that don’t make sense. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3afd7d9f07f5e27845be07/1513824033937-L3MBH2KI0RFZ0AQFPF7L/toned+0013.jpg Photography I’m an electrician. I do commercial electric. I’m in the union local 3 here in the city. I’m currently working on World Trade Center Tower 3. I’ve worked in the Oculus by Santiago Calatrava, who happens to be my favorite architect. For me personally, I was thrilled to work in there. Anywhere I go, I look him up to see if he has a building there. I want to go to Brazil just to see one of his buildings. And there’s a tower of his in Malmö, Sweden that’s just beautiful. He has a communications tower in Barcelona that I’ve seen. As soon as I get off from work, I leave the country. I love living in New York, but I love leaving New York more sometimes. I travel a lot; it opens up people to the world. A lot of people in the world today aren’t tolerant. Living in New York makes you tolerant, you have to learn to adjust. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3afd7d9f07f5e27845be07/1513824648073-DMZOSL2U4MUA34Z4H5HU/toned+IMG_0077.jpg Photography This is 99 Names of Allah. This means: No God but Allah. Sometimes I hold it in my hand, and I count it everyday around three to four thousand times because Allah created us. He gives us eyes, brain, sky, water, everything. All human beings are from one father and one mother; from Adam and Eve, and we’re all supposed to live as a family, as a family. Everybody is to love each other, respect each other, every single human being in the world. This is my hope. I never ever think, ‘this is black, this is white,’ everybody is the same. Everybody is created by Allah. I respect every human being, every single one; this is my heart. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3afd7d9f07f5e27845be07/1513833599385-EV8WX1CM1XG0HYAOQAUX/IMG_1062.JPG Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3afd7d9f07f5e27845be07/1513833600589-WOPK5S9BLYIG4P3BMGWJ/IMG_1063.JPG Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3afd7d9f07f5e27845be07/1513833640503-HPZPJNFIHCJNHWL2EMFT/IMG_1065.JPG Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3afd7d9f07f5e27845be07/1513833277420-GCG0FGD2PM2TUZKZXVF8/IMG_1067.JPG Photography Grand Central Station https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3afd7d9f07f5e27845be07/1513833101562-B5G8X8Y05ISIDQ8ZLSK9/IMG_0822.JPG Photography Wall Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3afd7d9f07f5e27845be07/1513852644968-G6KCYAUUIHZTSKM185MR/IMG_1104.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3afd7d9f07f5e27845be07/1513852776516-OE41M30Y7WDA2GT06QOI/toned+IMG_0077.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3afd7d9f07f5e27845be07/1513852826064-Y3TWZ5KN4VRJYE06MCO4/IMG_1067.JPG Photography https://www.sharonichoe.com/multimedia daily 0.75 2021-07-12 https://www.sharonichoe.com/audio daily 0.75 2018-06-10 https://www.sharonichoe.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-07-12 https://www.sharonichoe.com/resume daily 0.75 2021-07-12 https://www.sharonichoe.com/about daily 0.75 2024-06-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3afd7d9f07f5e27845be07/1513818051563-1VF6N9EAHRFJM0WMPE56/_MG_0033.JPG Journalist Photo: Jordan Pandy https://www.sharonichoe.com/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2019-03-05
