This photo is about two years old: not just the raw unfinished image but the the edits and effects were all applied about 2.5 years ago. I remember getting the photo ready — I even uploaded it to the gallery — and at the last minute I substituted something elsefor that day. I then decided to keep this image “in the bank,” so to speak, for a day when I was rushed and could afford the time. But I never did take advantage of it.
Moreover, as time has moved on, so has my style, and the type and amount of editing I do on images. I typically spend less time modifying images before publication than I used to, and they are more natural looking. But for one reason or another I never used up this “asset” and it was just time to do so. Although I would almost certainly create a different finished product today, I am not unhappy with this or embarrassed with it.
So here it is – 105 W.22nd Street taken early on a Sunday morning in the fall of 2011, edited and finished shortly thereafter, and shown to the world today.

12 Jun 2014I am glad you waited until now to post this – I wasn’t following your blog 2.5 years ago, so I wouldn’t have seen it!

14 Jun 2014I’m glad this has at last seen the light of day, Mark. A pattern image, but not quite a pattern image – and it’s all the variations on the pattern that makes this such an interesting image to look at and enjoy.
