Black Reflection
When I took this shot, it was all about the woman holding the subway door and the other passenger’s reactions. Then I noticed this shadow….
Shadows: Signs of Fall
Shadows: Signs of Fall
As we head into October, the signs of Fall (from a photography perspective) are starting to show. The shadows are getting longer and the light is getting more dramatic.
Summer in the City
View from Brooklyn Bridge Park
The summer is winding down. The time just flew by. Here’s a shot from Brooklyn Bridge Park.
East Broadway F Train Platform
East Broadway F Train Platform
This station has a nice curve that makes for great lines. I used a wide angle lens and camera with image stabilization and got the shutter speed down to 1/9th second. It’s not perfectly sharp but I think the motion blur and how all the passengers are exiting in synchrony makes this a great shot.
The Naked Cowgirl
The Naked Cowgirl
Years ago, on the evening of December 30, 2012, I took a photo of The Naked Cowgirl in Times Square. At the time, I had heard of The Naked Cowboy but had never of The Naked Cowgirl. It was quite the sight to see a woman wearing a white string bikini in the dead of winter, while others were wearing down jackets. It was a decent shot where I manage to capture some great facial expressions of on-lookers. Fast forward to last week and I ran into The Naked Cowgirl in Times Square. We had become friends on Instagram a few months back so this time I introduced myself. It was such a pleasure to meet her. Eleven years later (wow - time flies!) and she’s still rockin’ a bikini.
The Vessel
The Vessel from Hudson Yards Mall
The Vessel was closed the day I went so I took this shot from the adjacent Hudson Yards Mall. Shot with a an ultra-wide angle lens.
Urban Fog
Urban Fog from the Canadian Wildfires
No, that’s not fog. Smoke from the Canadian wildfires is giving New York City en eerie glow. Today is the worst air quality in recorded history in NYC. In any conditions, New York is still so photogenic. The color version looks very dystopian (many have said today looked like a scene from Blade Runner). The black and white version looks more dream=like to me.
