“Sorry I'm Not Your Clown Today,” photographs by Ryan McGinley, September 23

Joyfulness and hilarity define this portfolio. Ryan McGinley shot SNL’s Bowen Yang flying over the Manhattan skyline in a doorless helicopter, braving the Hudson River on a Jet Ski and dancing in an open fire hydrant in Flushing, Queens. There is no Photoshopping here: McGinley’s in-the-moment style complements the exuberant spirit of his subject.
