This is terrific.

Thanks! I was putting some new shooting techniques into practice and I got so many more keepers than I usually get when I am out and about.

Last week, I stood on a corner on Times Square and just shot people. It was funny to see how barely anyone noticed what I was doing. I stood there for almost a half an hour.


The standing on the corner, or sticking in one area thing works really well for me also. Seems that in NYC everyone is in such a rush to get somewhere they don't notice you or are too busy to care.

Or they are this guy

Highline? I am so used to the first section that I forget.

Yep. Though, I noticed that in certain parts of my neighborhood (Castle Hill/Parkchester, The Bronx), people are very aware when a photographer is around. Today, I was shooting a storefront and these folks around me paused and were very curious to know what I was doing.

Yeah Highline. Was the only good shot today as it was soooo sunny.

I find out in the Boroughs it's a lot harder to stand and shoot, apart from places like Dumbo and in Williamsburg on Bedford. Manhattan is where it works best. Though finding a zone of a few blocks and moving around it for me is when I get all my best stuff.

Probably added a little too much grain and noise. Wanted to make this very contrasty though.

I will reiterate that this photograph is excellent. This is why we spend hours on the street trying to get a shot that tells a story without saying anything. It's the kind of shot that I just want to show people. Please print this and show it to more than just 'the internet'.
