A face like this doesn’t come around too often. Another from my newest project. The joys of NYC . . .

One of my favorite things is winter trees. I love being able to see their branches and the texture. I shot this in upstate NY on the banks of the West Branch of the Delaware River River. I converted to black and white using Topaz software to eliminate all distractions which I think helps to focus on the form and the detail.

Through The Window

This was through my window on west 28th which is directly across from a cross fit gym. Shot it in color but processed it into black and white, I think adds a nice starkness and brings the viewer directly into the subject’s face. Whenever I get a shot like this I feel lucky because in an instant she could move away from the window and the scene is gone as if it never existed.

Timing is everything when shooting on the street. One second later this is a completely different photo. The lack of control is exciting.

I shot this yesterday in the subway. They had just announced a delay and the woman next to may displayed this expression of dismay. I shot it, one second there, the next second gone. That’s what makes street photography so exciting. These subway shots just may be the beginning of a new series. Shot on my iPhone and mage processed using Snapseed.

I shot this in the subway a couple of days ago and using the app Snapseed managed to get this painterly effect. It’s amazing what one can do on a phone these days.
