Subway Shots

In making this set of photos, I was trying to somewhat emulate the work of William Klein, one of the greatest visual chroniclers of New York City-- the stark contrast and grainy images were kind of his trademark (along with extreme close-ups, which I didn't pursue here).

Fireworks!

I love fireworks and taking photos of fireworks. Normally when I plan to make pictures of fireworks, I have a specific lens that I use, and prop the camera onto a tripod to get steadier shots.  Well, last week after the Batavia Muckdogs game they had a show but I had neither of those two items with me.  So these were shot hand-held with a much longer lens than I would normally use.  It should go without saying that there were a lot more misses than hits, but I think these examples made the exercise worthwhile.

The Manhattan High Line

Some years back I read that New York City had converted a stretch of the old elevated train line that ran adjacent to 10th Avenue into a pedestrian park.  I finally got to visit last month, and here are some the pictures I took of and from the stroll, which runs from 34th St all the way down to Greenwich Village.
