I have been willing to do this one for some time, just couldn’t find the bus stop with the proper light (that is, enough light). I was lucky to get a bus pass by. I don’t usually show my second choice picture of the day, but today, oh, was such a close called, that here it is. Which one do you prefer?

With this photo I wanted to combine several composition techniques to make a successful image. This is a very contrasty image due to the black interior curtain combined with the strong reflections from the white walls in the building in front. The light and dark elements advance thru the image in perpendicular axes crossing in the lower left third of the image. Each has a different element of repetition or pattern; the building contains the scaffold and the windows, while the curtain fabric intersects itself thousands of times.

A freaking cold night! I took my hands out of my pockets for a few minutes while taking a bunch of shots from this Diner sign and almost lost my fingers. As some of the previous images, this one was taken handheld while zooming in and out.

Another typical store type in New York, the 24-hours deli. Anything you need, be it a football night or romantic night, they got it.

New York is full of painted walls. The East Village is one particular spot where you can find a lot of them. Here is an example that serves well its owners.

Tonight we had chinese food for dinner.

Details, details, details, another fun topic. Sometimes the most interesting things are very close, just look around…
