Just a few images from my travels above and below grounds this week. As the weather heats up, I tend to get out more. I love that summer is coming, even though this and next week are probably the worst for allergies for the entire year for me. I’ve been locking myself up while I wait for it to rain. If the wet stuff falls, then I can walk. In the meantime, here are some images:
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.
Even though I’ve spent very little time there, I love New York. I think it’s the most dynamic, vibrant, exciting place in America. It’s got the best food and the worst traffic. Every nationality on earth calls the place home and you can find any product you’re looking for somewhere among the city’s hundreds of ethnic markets. Because of this constant influx of immigrants, the city maintains a diversity – not just in the color of peoples skin, but in the cultural traditions that make a place so interesting – unparalleled in this country.
