One day I was waiting for someone in front 9 West 57th Street where they have a large sculpture of a big red 9 sitting in front of the building. I noticed that as people walked by the sculpture that very surreal reflections would appear almost as silhouettes. It’s actually a double reflection as one of the building pillars appears as well.  Luckily I had my camera with me and was able to capture this arresting image.

I had seen this reflection many times from a neon grocery store sign on rainy nights and knew that if i had a person in the scene I’d have a compelling image. One rainy night I grabbed my gear and went out to see what i could find. Using the street as my canvas I just waited for people to walk by. I lucked out with this figure and pulled the trigger at exactly the right moment. A fleeting moment in time; here one second gone the next . . . that’s what excites me most about street photography.

This was the view from my loft on West 28th Street on a snowy winter night. For me, it’s all about the light.

Another building that caught my eye in upstate NY. Led Zeppelin had a Stairway to Heaven… is this the Doorway to Heaven?
