New Crush

I have a new crush, and it’s name is Polaroid SX-70.
Prospect Park Zoo
I don’t know if it’s the promise I made to myself to take more pictures or just the weather, but I made it to Prospect Park to take pictures twice last week, and even went to Central Park on Saturday. In general I think Central Park is too crowded and the landscape views are a bit claustrophobic. Of the three rolls of 120 I shot last week, the photos from Prospect Park are looking much better.
While on one of my walks through through the park, I decided to take a path I’d never seen before and discovered the secluded Vale of Cashmere. It’s hard for me to believe that I’ve been going to the park for seven years now and never discovered this beautiful area (see the photograph from the post below). It’s nestled high up on a hill above Grand Army Plaza, full of birds and squirrels and rabbits, and men hiding in the bushes (oh hey there!). I later learned of the Vale’s somewhat checkered past, known as a cruising and drug spot as well as the site of some anti-gay attacks and at least one murder.
Taking a picture, part five: processing in Photoshop
Thanks for your interest in my “Taking a Picture” series. Just as a note, I have continued improving my digital workflow and some of these notes are now out-of-date. Feel free to drop a line in the comments or contact me directly if you would like more information on my photographic workflow.

Archaeology, Raritan Bay
This was supposed to be the day when I posted the next installment in my “taking a picture” series, which will include a contact sheet evaluation. Unfortunately my Hasselblad developed a light leak and half of my photographs from yesterday are ruined! I ordered a new light seal kit, which should be here in a few days, but unfortunately that post will have to wait for a little while.
