Picturesque
This photograph is pretty decent from a technical perspective. It’s well exposed and everything is in focus. The composition is classically pleasing and there is a nice sense of light in the image. And I absolutely hate it.
Central Park
I was taking this photograph in a somewhat out-of-the-way spot in Central Park yesterday when a tourist with a point-and-shoot digicam walked by. He saw me setting up my shot, stood right next to me, pointed his camera right where mine was pointed, snapped a pic, checked his LCD, and walked away without ever saying a word. While it’s entirely possible that he might have spotted this exact scene had I not been there, I suspect that he saw me with my fancy pants camera and assumed that I knew what I was doing. I would love to see how that shot came out for him.
An evening with Robert Frank (part 2)
I mentioned a few days ago that Robert Frank was to speak at the Walter Reade Theater on May 15th to celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Americans. I was not able to attend, but WNYC has the audio from the Q&A. It sounds like the interviewer wasn’t great, but the audience had a good time. I am downloading it now so I can listen to it while I develop film tonight.
Death Is Upon You
I find that giving the house a really good cleaning is a great way to push back those feelings of mortality for a little while.
Hi.
Thanks to Rachel at Shoot The Blog, my humble website has seen a huge upswing in traffic over the last 24 hours. Aww shucks, I’m blushing.
If you’re new here, I’d love for you to stay and take a look around. If you’re just looking for some pictures, I’ve got a gallery of my favorite current work, as well as a link to all of the photographs I’ve posted to this blog, ever.
