I married into the cutest twins on earth. George’s cousins dressed up as a monkey and a pig for Halloween and though they were cranky as all get-out due to *two* birthday parties on Sunday, they still managed to pull off the animal-lookalike bit very well. I think next year they’ll be waaaay into the candy-delivery system that is Halloween.
I’m fascinated by reflections. There is so much a photographer can do with mirrors, glass and angles. So you can imagine my delight when I came across one of those triangle forever mirror things at the University of Maryland while I waited for George’s class to get out. I ducked up inside and had lots of fun taking self-portraits. The mirrors were plenty dirty and it was very dark in the hall, but I still had some fun. Here’s me and me and me.
This week’s edition of On the Web brings you a final image (from this trip) of NYC street scenes. I’m very intrigued by the classic night-time street photography of greats like Cartier-Bresson but find my own equipment mostly lacking. When I upgrade to full-frame, I’m excited about the low-light possibilities. If I jack up the ISO to get the image, the grain is unbearable. Below, the valet stand at the Hilton.
