Yesterday I walked through Williamsburg Brooklyn with a simple kit: my D700, a 50mm f1.4 prime, and a 24mm F2.8 prime. Also – no tripod. I shot mostly with the 50, because I wanted to force myself out of the habit of shooting everything wide. I did without the tripod in part to travel light, and in part because I also knew I wanted to take some shots from a couple of elevated subway platforms and tripods are not allowed there, anyway. I’ll feature the results over the next few weeks.

If you look at the Google map street view for this block you will see this fence made up of clean unpainted plywood. Now you can see that the long side has been painted over, as somebody, presumably the lot owner, covers over graffiti and posters. This side has some posters on it, but I like how others have added their own flourishes to the posters. You put something on a wall that you don’t own and you takes your chances.
