Crossover Dreams
I'm creating this entire post from my iPad as a road test. Not a lot to say about the image. This is a fairly routine black and white conversion…
Ominous Alley
It's broad daylight and pretty well lit despite the shadows, but something about this alley is not at all inviting.
Let’s Get This Straight
It's funny how I keep covering the same themes as I write about the images in this series, because the issues I keep covering aren't necessarily related to the subject…
Diagonal Alley
J.K. Rowling stole my pun. The photo does not really show it clearly, but the elevated subway train tracks and this alley cut on a sharp diagonal through a city…
Tracks Over Tracks
Continuing our travels under the M Train, this crossing at Woodward Avenue provides the best view of the street level tracks that used to run through these back lots. The…
Crossing Onderdonk
This image shows the M Train elevated subway just after the turn in yesterday's image, as it leaves Palmetto Street and starts its past through back alleys and mid-bloc crossings.…
At The Turn
As I mentioned in the first post in the series, the reason I found this spur of the elevated subway M Line interesting is that it turns away from Palmetto…
Straight Up. No Chaser.
For better or worse, the composition here is largely accidental. Oh, I did decide to point the camera straight up, but beyond that the framing was largely a guess. I…
Shadow Lines – Continuing the Self-Critique
So here it is - the wall I promised two days ago. To reiterate, I wasn't promising the world's best picture of a wall, but one that made better use…
Approaching Seneca
So I messed up a bit yesterday when I said that today I would post a better image of a wall shot from an angle, because I also promised to…
Imperfection – A Self Critique
While it is not as if my output has been perfect to this point, this image suffers from the worst combination of poor composition and a subject that is not…
Shadow Tracks
This continues our journey under the M Train elevated subway line. This is at the corner of Palmetto Street and St. Nicholas Avenue. In the foreground and curving off…
Uneven
Yesterday, Bob Lussier had a post called "Off Centered" in which he confessed that he needs to better check his framing in the field, because the shot he posted came out…
Event Horizon By The Queensboro Bridge
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…
Um, Okay [Seagram Building Plaza Teddy Bear and Lamp]
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…
Fill ‘Er Up At The Silvercup
Another shot of the Silvercup sign. I think I'm going to keep shooting it until I get it perfect. On a business note, I want to mention that B&H…
