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

Tag Archives: Night The cube, which is only a few years old, underwent renovations that concluded a couple of months ago. The cube used to be made up of many small glass panels, and is now composed of much larger glass panels, leading to a much cleaner look. There are not as many reflections, but you can still create some...  It is not unusual to see a box truck with graffiti on it, but this is a somewhat extreme example. It’s like a small piece of traveling Urbex. In this instance, it was parked among office towers at the edge of the Rockefeller Center complex. It is also another example of why I love carrying...  I took this just before getting into position for yesterday’s image. The people a watching a light display, with music, on Saks Fifth Avenue. You can imagine how enchanting it must have been to get all of these people — all or most of whom came to see the tree — to turn away and look...  Sometimes I feel foolish all the times I admit that I notice a photographic element only when I review the image at home, and had no sense of it when composing in the field. This is another example. I carefully composed to get the tree in the image, obviously, but also I specifically remember that...  This is, of course, the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, shot from behind a toy solder statue and through a row of golden flags being blown by the wind. By the way, if you’re visiting this page on the day it is posted, December 27, 2011, go to the Bing.com home page. It is featuring a photo...  It’s almost here. Last work day of the year for me. Merry Christmas. Happy Hannukah. Tweet  So this is the same star as yesterday: the star, or snowflake, above 57th Street and Fifth Avenue. This time I’m standing on Fifth Avenue just above 56th Street and looking uptown. I’m not sure why but I had all kinds of trouble getting a black and white image I was happy with. I made...  This truly is facing East, or as near as you can get with Manhattan’s street grid. For as long as I can remember this star (some call it a snowflake) has hovered over the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street every December, and though quite simple, it has always been one of my favorite...  I walked up to the Fifth Avenue Apple Store Cube last night wondering (1) whether the cube and Apple symbol would be decorated for Christmas in any way, and (2) whether I could manage to get a shot of it that was in some way unique. The answer to the first question was “no,” although...  You might recognize this Post office if you were a fan of Seinfeld. Cooper Station on Fourth Avenue is the Post Office whose exterior was used in the episode in which Newman charges Jerry with a mail insurance scam and brings him in for questioning. The iomage demonstrates a common white balance issue: if you...  I have mentioned this tip before, but it is worth repeating. If you are shooting through a chain link fence, or similar obstruction, try opening the aperture on your lens as wide as possible (assuming you have that control available to you). Then place your camera right up against the fence, and the fence wires...  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...  The “Tribute In Light” ran only one night this year: last night, the evening of the anniversary, from dusk to dawn this morning. I had been hoping it would run some evening in advance of the anniversary, so I could post an image of it yesterday, but they only lit the beams briefly a few...  The Niagara Mohawk building is a landmark of downtown Syracuse, with lots of beautiful art deco details. It is as beautiful during the day as it is here lit up at night. This dates from a trip visiting my in-laws Thanksgiving weekend 2009. Tweet  This is the Queensboro Bridge, obviously at night, from a spot just north of the bridge on the Manhattan side. The bright, squat rectangular building on the opposite side is the terminal building for the Roosevelt Island Tram. Beyond the buildings you see on the far shore, which is Roosevelt Island and not Queens, is...  Can you smell the zeppole, fried Oreos, and sausage and pepper heros? Because I was standing right next to the booths that sold them. Our parish bazaar was this weekend. We did the rides first, then went inside for various games involving bean bags and hitting targets. When we went back outside on our way...  I like this image, but it demonstrates the limitation of a Gorillapod, as I think this image would be better if the camera were at least a few feet higher. Still, the kit for this image, which was the Gorillapod, the Nikon D700, and Nikon’s 24mm prime f/2.8 lens is a reasonably mobile set of gear. This...  So apparently NYC is building one of those alien transport machines from the movie Contact, or the gravity drive from the movie Event Horizon. Either way, you will be able to travel outside the galaxy from this platform as soon as the third ring is added. Officially it is an East River viewing pavilion but any fan...  The plaza in fron of the Seagram Building on Park Avenue is one of the city’s most successful public/private spaces. I admire the building management for trying new things every now and then, but not this. This is called Untitled (Lamp/Bear) and is going to be auctioned off by Christie’s in May. Ever since the Cow...  |
