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. Tweet

Category Archives: People 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...  When I can’t look at you and You can’t look at me, I’m not certain If we’re tired of each Other or just tired. Tweet  I have sat on this shot for about a year, for two reasons. First it is technically flawed, with poor focus. Second, I generally don’t want to poke fun at the people I shoot. It seems a breach of trust. But sometimes I cannot resist, and my fallen nature won out this time. Tweet  I want to start a new photo series, but I’m not yet certain what to call it or how to handle it. I often take surreptitious photos of other riders when I am on the subway, and have occasionally posted some as I did here, here, and here. While a good number of the...  I shoot the shooters. Fifth Avenue, in front of the Atlas Statue at Rockefeller Center, roughly 15 months ago. I can’t be sure because it is from real film, so there is no exif data to tell the tale. Tweet  Christmas Eve, and I’m very busy, as I’m sure are you. I’ve toyed with taking a blog vacation for the rest of the year, but I think I’m going to post mostly simple images with brief text accompaniment, while working on some big posts like a year-end retrospective and one other somewhat similar item. This...  When I saw this I was pretty certain it was one of two things, an possibly both: either (1) an art project, or (2) a blog and potentially book project. It turns out it’s the former. The Work Office (TWO) describes itself on its twitter page as an art project disguised as an employment agency....  It has been a while since I posted some street work. This has been sitting in my library for over a year. I crossed the street to get a shot closer to the couple, and meant to get even closer but traffic interfered. Tweet  This is from one month ago. It was just about a week and a half ago that evenings were still warm and comfortable for sitting outside. Winter is coming. Tweet  Without any sort of official survey, my experience for the past two years has led me to conclude that the political leanings of online photographers are similar to that of most online communities (excluding, of course, the overtly political communities): libertarians are over-represented proportionally to their presence in the greater world. Although I’m not libertarian,...  Normally when I arrive in a city for a business trip after 10pm I think of nothing but bed, and maybe late night room service if I missed dinner. But this was Las Vegas and I did not have to be anywhere in the early morning so I grabbed my x100 and headed...  I just returned from a brief trip (1.5 days, 2 nights) to Las Vegas for business. For a variety of reasons, Vegas is not my thing, but I was glad to have the occasion and opportunity to visit at least this once. I knew there were slot machines in the airport, but was surprised to...  I missed my two-year blog anniversary yesterday. I didn’t intend to do anything big, unlike last year for the first anniversary when I built a whole retrospective around it, but I had planned at least to mention it. I’ve just been very busy, mostly with work stuff, and the date slipped my mind. So, today marks my...  Yesterday there was another Google Plus New York Photowal, this time in Chinatown. In addition to the usual crew of local Google Plus photographers, about 60 or so I’d estimate, I was joined by Bob Lussier and his lovely wife Jean. They reside in Massachusetts, but were in town for a wedding this...  As much as I love Nik’s Silver Efex Pro 2 for black and white adjustments, I also keep trying to learn how to make black and white adjustments in Aperture or Photoshop. I find it tends to get better results on shots featuring people. One of the counterintuitive but powerful tricks is to adjust colors...  I feel a little bad picking on these two young women, as it isn’t their fault that Uniqlo, a clothing line whose name derives from “unique clothing” chose an easily mockable name. Uniqlo seems to be the clothing line of the moment, Originally from Japan, it is heavily promoting itself in the US, and is...  Do you find the pair of elbows distracting? They don’t bother me. It seems clear where the focus is, but I’d be interested to know if others disagree. Tweet  |
