On The Subway

Every day in NYC I see something that catches my eye, not always pleasant but usually real and often moving. In this case as soon as I hit the subway platform it’s bam, right in my face. After I snapped the photo the gent on the end said something really nasty to me but hey, I gotta do what I gotta do.

Blizzard

I know this is probably one of the most photographed buildings in New York but I was out walking during the height of the blizzard last weekend and just happened to have my camera with me. This was what I saw. There was so little definition that the auto focus wouldn’t work on my Nikon and I focused this by hand barely being able to see anything. I converted to black and white and added a vignette to give it that old New York City look.

On The Subway

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

On The Subway

More from my new series of people on NYC Subways. This was shot coming downtown from the upper west side after the balloon inflating the night before the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Shot on my iPhone and processed on my phone using Snapseed. A really lovely moment.

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.
