Day 25 of 365: New York in Motion

27 01 2010

New York New York, big city of dreams,
And everything in New York ain’t always what it seems,
You might get fooled if you come from out of town,
But I’m down by law and I know my way around.
– Grandmaster Flash

Day 19 of 365: Gotham City’s Grimy Face

20 01 2010

Yesterday’s image was Gotham’s clean face … today is Gotham’s grimy one. I had went out late night/early morning to capture another side of my beloved NYC.

Day 18 of 365: Gotham City’s Clean Face

20 01 2010

I’ve been really enjoying putting my perspective of New York into this 365 project. Shooting NYC has not been something I have ever spent a lot of time doing. I spend far more time with underwater photography, although ironically I spend far more time physically in New York. Today and tomorrow I plan on showing two faces of NYC. Today is Gotham City’s clean face…

Day 9 of 365: Empire State of Mind

11 01 2010

Concrete jungle where dreams are made of, There’s nothing you can’t do, Now you’re in New York,
These streets will make you feel brand new, the lights will inspire you,
Let’s hear it for New York, New York, New York… (Alicia Keys / Jay-Z)

Day 6 of 365: HDR Central Park Horses

7 01 2010

Following up yesterday’s dark image, I decided to take my camera and tripod with me to a meeting at my accountant’s office and then head to Central Park to shoot some HDR images. As luck would have it, after two bracketed 5 shot bursts my battery died and I had no spare with me! But I managed to create this image in one of those bursts. Didn’t even make it to the park…
