meter made

As much as I love getting shots around NYC, sometimes it just isn't practical to keep my camera bag with me. Then there is the added complication of being out of town nearly half the month of July, and being limited in the things I could take with me. Nevertheless, my enthusiasm is unabated.

Couple of things I'm happy about. I've finally decided to start thinking about possibly learning how to post process photos. Most of the shots you see here have had precious little done to them out of the camera. While I doubt I'll ever do a ton of editing to my photos before posting (I think it would make me lazy when taking the photos), I'd be kidding myself if I didn't admit that they could benefit from such a thing. The first step is getting the software, which I'm planning on getting tomorrow.

I need to be truthful. I stalked this woman for about 5 minutes to get these photos. She has been collecting cans in my neighborhood since I moved here, and she is extremely industrious, often pushing carts so laden that I have visions of nature videos where ants are lifting 20 times their body weight. I'm not implying that she looks like an ant, but I am implying that you can stalk my camera phone in the long droughts between pictures I put on this site.

i'm published

I haven't posted pictures for awhile due to an out of town trip of a work hard / play hard variety. However, I'm happy to say that my first image has been published as part of the File Magazine Collection!

I now have all my current favorite photos on this site tagged with the term "favorite" (and added this tag to my sidebar, indicating this is a photo that I like. You may disagree, so please look at all my photos and then forward them to the New York Times so they can do an article on me and I can become famous. No, don't do that.

I like this photo quite a bit. I took it right before a performance we did at a restaurant in Brooklyn.

northbound 1 train

Taken at 231st St (I think). I can't believe how many photos I've taken that I haven't waded through yet, and I don't even have much time to take them. I can't imagine the challenge people have choosing photos when they shoot every day.

I didn't want to post anything for a few days because I was so proud of the cat picture below. I've decided I'm going to add a knew tag called "favorites" so that curious viewers can see which photos I've taken over the years are the ones I like the best, and hopefully that will keep them from sinking into the ether.

This was taken back near Christmas. If you look carefully you can see the 231st subway station behind the lights. I took this on the way home from work.

Blogger photo posting is working again! Very good. I'm travelling a lot this month, but I'm going to try to preload a bunch of photos so I can post them from the road. We'll see how that goes.
