50th Street

From Rockefeller Center, 7 floors up (I think it was 7).

It's no "Manhattanenge," but what are you going to do?

Sidewalk Gehry Cellphone Woman

Just one of those "wysiwyg" kind of titles: 

Well what do you know, I did come back to post something after all!  

Bridges Over Land and Water

Two crops!

Which one is "better?"  Who knows!  I sure don't.  I'm sure there's a third option.  I'm sure there's a horizontal option too.  Well, there are always options, whether it's in cropping a photo or in life.  

What to do, what to do...

Name Forgotten

He appreciated the camera, I took his picture.  All I remember is that he was also a photographer.

On West Broadway, between Prince and Houston.

Houston Street

On the east East EAST side:

I've been developing film like nobody's business lately, so maybe the updates around here will be a little more frequent.  However, I'm not going to have access to a $25,000 Imacon scanner until October.  That is to say, I'm not going to have affordable access to one, as opposed to paying $50 a scan for the privilege.  I feel like it's a giant step backwards to be posting things scanned on my almost $200 HP G4050.  You can check the entry before this one to see a before/after example of what a fancy expensive scanner can do.

One Negative, Two Pictures

Washington Square North:

The first version was my first version.  The below was what happened after I used a Imacon scanner with a few photoshop lessons under my belt.

Dig the lights, especially.

LMFAO

I forgot I took this one (and another to come soon):

This was right before they really hit.  I had no idea who they were, but I figured if they were out and people were making a fuss at them (and total strangers yelling derisive things at them, to which they yelled back), they were worth taking a shot.  I got this and one more with the C/M, and then got some more from the front (or was it the other way around) with the Starflash (read the saga here!).

I should probably post the uncropped version of this, since figuring out the "correct" crop was a bitch.  I do like that you have this guy on the left wearing what looks to be a Santa hat, and the guy on the right taking in the scene.  I'm not sure and don't remember if he was part of the crew or not, but I am enjoying that stance.

Rays of Liberty

It's a crop, but I dig it:

I'm surprised I hadn't posted this here before, especially since this had been hanging around for a while, and it took no real current effort to put up, other than to find and put up.

That make sense?  No?  Good.

I like the four birds in the shot, on the bottom near the right.  They almost don't look like birds at first, but they're birds.  At least that's what I'm going with.

Gay Pride

It's not just about shirtless trannies and leather chaps:

Then again maybe this woman isn't straight.  She could at the very least be bi-curious, or perhaps a lesbian through and through.  On the other hand, she may not even be a woman at all.  I don't know what she might be tucking under there.  Years ago at my local post office I saw this chick with the best ass I've ever seen on a chick checking her PO box.  I was in love with her even though I hadn't even seen her face, but her long blond hair flowed down to the middle of her back, and I couldn't take my eyes off her tight tight jeans.

Then she turned around to reveal herself to be none other than Sebastian Bach.

Yes.  Sebastian Bach, formerly of Skid Row, has the best ass of any chick I've ever seen.

I wonder if he's ever been to the parade...

Gay Pride 2012

It's that time of year again! 

So remember that project I mentioned I was working on?  Well, I finished it.  However, I now have a secondary project going on that's somewhat related to this first big project, so I'm not sure I'll be posting here every day again.  Heck, I don't even know if I'll be posting here every day again ever again, but I'll still post as much as I'm able.  

Just to let you know, I shot 11 rolls at the parade (10 slide), so expect it to get quite fabulous around here for a while...

Vintage Sunset (Adjusted)

Adjusted from the original that I posted however long ago: 

Yes, this is part of my ongoing project as well, and I'm pretty much almost done with it, and then maybe at some point (when the time is right), I'll share the news.  

Until then...

Now You See It,

Now you don't!

See what I mean?

Photoshop CS6 is a hell of a drug....

Central Park 2x

In Central Park, Central Park:

Wow, so it's been a week eh?  It's amazing how easy it is to stop doing something you've been doing virtually every day for almost three years.  As for this photo, I'm pretty sure I posted a different version of this a while back.  Though this is actually part of my current project, and without getting too specific, it involves me doing some high resolution scans of my work (selected photos, not the whole shebang) and then working them in photoshop to the best of my single photoshop class taken ability.  It's a pretty time consuming affair.

I'm not complaining or anything.  There's people breathing in death in coal mines or throwing themselves off balconies in iPad factories, so I have it pretty easy.  The end goal of all this work is pretty important, and it's worthwhile.  At least it's important and worthwhile to me.  Again, when the time's right I'll let you in on what all this work is about.  And when it's all done, I'll be hopefully posting a picture a day, every day once again, just moseying on with life.

Triple Bridge Encounter

At Mt. Sinai Hospital:

See, I can still sneak away here and there to upload a photo.

Lucky you...

How many is it that I owe you?  Four?  Five?  I'm going to have to figure the count once this is all through.

Paving Stone Way

Midtown, West Side:

Wow, so I don't know if I've ever skipped three days in a row before.  I will say that I've been working like crazy on a big project.  I've been working on it for weeks, and I think it might take a few more weeks to finish.  It's a photo related project.  It involves me sitting in front of this here computer for many a long hour, trying to figure out crap in Photoshop CS4 so the stuff I'm working on doesn't look like I've been working on it with Photoshop CS4.  It's something I'll probably share once it's all done and ready to go.  Until then, you'll just have to trust me, and the sporadic posts may continue (sporadically, of course).

I owe you three.

12th Ave III

This is the last one of the series, I promise:

I should have taken more.

12th Avenue

At night (again): 

I believe I have one more night shot taken from this location.  I also believe it might end up here in the not too distant future.  

SinXero II

I wanted to get a shot in the sun, after we took the first shots in the shadow of the truck.  He suggested taking off his jacket to show off his tattoos.

Cement Structure

Part of Pier 92:

This shot could have used a trim.  Yeah, I forgot, big deal.  But who can think at a time like this?  There's ice cream waiting to be eaten.

Train Yard Triptych

On vintage film:

This is an experiment of sorts.  I happen to think it's a failed experiment.

By the way, is it sacrilege to say that I'm not all into The Wall that much?  It's good and all, but it's not like religion or anything (hence me saying it's sacrilege, I suppose).  If you ask me, that's where they jumped the pig.
