I played with easily a half dozen variations of this – black and white, darker blues, more reds, etc., and finally settled on this, after I added the yellow tones in the trees. This is the Lake in Central Park, taken from the 72nd Street transverse looking northwest. Happy Mothers Day to all the wonderful women who fulfill that role.  
Beautiful park.Great post.May 14, 2012 – 5:15 am 
Very nice use of the infrared, Mark. I like the balance also. Great image!May 14, 2012 – 8:00 am 
This is astonishing. Love the rich details and unique tones that this technique brings out, Mark! You’ve done a great job with this. 
Wow! This is really beautiful, I do love to share it on my pinterest…May 16, 2012 – 10:05 am
Events prevented me from adding any images to Instagram this week, so instead of selecting something from this week I’ve pick a couple from my archives. In addition, I have a small related announcement, which is that I now have a gallery at Instacanv.as. My gallery is here. As the name implies. Instacanv.as allows people to make canvas prints out of Instagram photos. People do some amazing things on Instagram, so please take a look not just at my gallery, but at the site overall. You never know if you might find something you like. Happy weekend everyone. by Mark show 1 comment 
Cool idea on the canvases! The bloomage is quite stunning!
If this scene looks familiar to regular visitors, that’s because it is the same exact point of view as this image from just a few weeks ago. In fact they were taken the same morning, with this shot coming at the end of the same excursion as I circled back to where I started, but now with a plastic Holga-style lens on my Nikon D700 (also the pigeons left and a van parked at the top of the hill). I did a black and white conversion and added some grain. by Mark show 3 comments 
Some good mood right here. Bless the little Holga that could 
Great photo here! It’s nice to see photos in black and white. I love it!May 11, 2012 – 10:55 am 
Super shot here with the cheap optic and mono presentation giving the viewed a distinct 60-70s vibe. Keep em coming.
Walton Street is a short, two-block stretch in downtown Syracuse with a lot of restored buildings and pretty shops, but that is not what I chose to shoot that morning. This is a loading dock, I guess. There is a great ghost sign above, but I cut it off because “Hurbson Office Equipment” did not seem to do the scene justice. Really, it’s the white rag that makes the shot, in my opinion. by Mark show 4 comments 
Awesome detail and grit Mark. 
Love the mood and processing in this shot Mark!
Not sure about that white rag but the faded no parking sign really pops for me! 
Great shot, I agree with you, I like the ragMay 11, 2012 – 9:29 am
This strikes me as a quintessential NY scene: a Queens barber shop promising Brooklyn flavor, and the sedan with the flags adds an extra touch. It isn’t my most exciting photo, but I think it captures something true. It’s a shame that the parking sign is right in front of the awning, but sometimes that’s how it goes.  by Mark show 1 comment
