If you’re going to go out there with your hair, you might as well go all the way. If you’re getting a mohawk, might as well also get the red highlights and matching scarf.

And matching scarf. Perfect capture Mark. 
Thanks Mark. BTW, your comment alerted me to notice that I somehow truncated part of my text that also noted the scarf. That’s fixed now.January 27, 2012 – 10:44 am 
I see you’ve met my Son! 
Awesome capture Mark. I love that he’s on his phone
These Fort Tryon arches are certainly catnip for a photographer like me, and I took additional shots from the other side looking in as well as inside them before I made my way here. This view is actually less interesting, I think, than the others, except for the very sparsely decorated Christmas tree to the right. I’ve mentioned before that I am not categorically opposed to moving elements in my compositions when I am shooting outdoors, but that I also disfavor it and do so rarely. Well, I did it here. There was a wire garbage can next to the light pole that really detracted from the shot and was not really inherent to its nature either, so I picked it up and carried it across the path and out of the picture, returning it when done. by Mark show 6 comments
I like your leading line from the lower right in this shot. It draws my eye to the arches. Nice shot, Mark. 
Don’t blame you for moving the can, it wouldn’t look right in there! Nice shot!January 26, 2012 – 10:31 am 
Great composition and vanishing point Mark. The textures rock.
Very cool! Great piece.January 26, 2012 – 11:59 am 
Great leading lines, and I love the wonky leaning lamp post – a neat contrast. 
Terrific composition and processing!
Continuing my occasional series of subway station shots, this one actually features a crowd of people. It also happens to be my regular every day commuting station where I work. I took this while waiting for my train home, of another set of people waiting for their trains home. The train on the far platform is pulling in, and you can see the people poised to board it, while those on the other side of the platform don’t care, because, well, it’s not their train. There’s a YouTube video for everything: The V train arriving here no longer exists since they shuffled some lines about 2 years ago but this is still what it looks and sounds like at the station. by Mark show 5 comments
I like this one Mark. Not being a “city based” worker anymore, I sometimes forget the almost “isolated in the crowd” feeling that I would experience on a daily basis. Nicely done documentary.
I really lIke how the bottom of the frame shows the shadowed track area, giving the image a bit more depth and setting. Nice shot!January 25, 2012 – 10:23 am 
Life in the big city. 
Wonderful shot Mark. I love the moving train in the background and how everyone is in their own little world 
This is way cool, Mark! Love the framing and the resulting drama and tension! Fabulous work, my friend!

Nice, thoughtful photo-commentary, Mark. And the composition is just right. 
Nice comp Mark. Interesting interpretation of the emotions in this photo. 
Hi Mark! I think you have a perfect interpretation of the photo. Maybe they were simply being tired or tired of each other. Great!January 25, 2012 – 7:55 am
I messed this roll up 17 ways ’til Tuesday.
And yet there’s something about this toy plastic camera and 120 film that sill makes me want to look at these and will get me to come back. My favorite is the middle. It’s a part double exposure – part overlapping of separate images: one in Queens with the train tracks and the billboard in the upper left, the other from Manhattan in the Flatiron District, looking south down Fifth Avenue. No digital processing except to punch up the saturation on the sky just a touch. In completely separate news, the latest installment of my HDR Collaboration Group is up at Mike Criswell’s place. It’s a fun shot of the Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston, West Virginia. Click over to check it out.  by Mark show 2 comments 
Great post Mark, made me laugh, I am sure you will do better next time
Thanks, Mike. By the way, you probably can’t tell, but the train tracks in the second shot are from the same location as our Grade Crossing collaboration.January 24, 2012 – 10:13 am |
