Monthly Archives: June 2010– There’s something very important I forgot to tell you.- What? – Don’t cross the streams. – Why? – It would be bad. – I’m fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, “bad”? – Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in… I think this was my first night out trying the E-PL1, maybe the second. I had to get pretty close using this kit to get this shot, and I wasn’t really used to it, so I was a bit nervous, but the image was so perfect I pushed my self. Tweet I do not normally post twice on Saturday’s (or any day for that matter) but today is International HDR Day, at least according to Rick Sammon and Trey Ratcliff, so I thought I should post an HDR image in addition to my black and white Bus Stop image. Taken about 5:30 am from Battery… I generally try to avoid publishing images of people in any pose or situation that would be a source of even modest embarrassment, although sometimes I might compromise that idea a bit for large groups where one person away from the main subject is slightly “compromised.” To demonstrate where I draw… I recently read one of those lifestyle articles in which the author reflects on life in New York City, the kind of substance-free article that is of interest only to navel-gazing New Yorkers, or those who imagine their lives would be more interesting if only they lived here. I usually skip these articles because… I think this image might have the widest variety of emotions and “looks” in a small set of people of any shot in the series.

There was also a lot of halos and glowing in the signage, lights and window of the restaurant. The restaurant… I’ve already published 2 views of this area. This is actually the first one that I took, as I approached this corner by walking down William Street from the area behind the camera. I hit this corner and took the brackets for this image. While waiting for those 7 shots to cycle through, I… Until today, I have had nothing but praise for my Olympus Pen E-PL1 camera. Today I tried to update the firmware, which requires proprietary software, unlike every other camera that lets you do it by memory card. Whatever. Not too big of a hassle. You also have to connect the camera to the computer via… At the time I didn’t think they noticed me, but the more I look at this shot I’m not sure. Either way, this might be my favorite “pose” in the series so far. Tweet  I have previously noted my fondness for triangle shaped buildings, formed at the corners of non-square intersections, so shooting this intersection was a given. It is a 5 way intersection, which is responsible for the narrow-angled corners. The central building is 1 William Street, which dates to 1907, and is currently…
