It’s been a busy week. I had a corporate photo shoot, workshops at National Parks in two states, and the launch of a Facebook group for workshop attendees. I continued to photograph on the streets almost every day, but writing the blog had to take a backseat to these other commitments. It was fun toContinue reading “Street Photography: “Fuhgeddaboudit””

Street Photography: Expression
What a picture of these polarized times. If you’ve read my last three posts, you will know that I have been photographing architectural features in the Fifth Avenue area. On my way to those sites, I passed by Trump Tower. Across the street were these two lone protesters. Ironically, their physical positions were opposite toContinue reading “Street Photography: Expression”

Much of my commissioned works for the National Park Service are artistic photographic collections of historical homes and workplaces. Some of the sites include General George Washington’s headquarters in New Jersey, President Theodore Roosevelt’s summer White House on Long Island, and the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s home in Massachusetts. Recently, Arcadia Publishing released a bookContinue reading “Street Photography: Caught Looking”
Street Photography: Caught Looking
I have no idea what was going on here. All I know is that I was particularly alert that day. I saw the gesture as it was happening and managed to fire off a shot to capture the expression of the central figure. It’s like that sometimes. I get in the mood and I feelContinue reading “Street Photography: Caught Looking”
Street Photography: Caught Looking
Parliament Funkadelic. That was what I thought of when I saw the fellow on the right and decided to take the photograph. Or did I take the photograph because of the coziness I felt from the coffee shop? I no longer remember even though I created the image less than a month ago. And myContinue reading “Street Photography: Caught Looking”

The urge to express oneself can lead to some comical happenstance. I was on Fifth Avenue, which is not a typical route for me. But I was looking for something different to photograph. I was not sure what I would find on Fifth, but I’m not as familiar with it and thought I might encounterContinue reading “Street Photography: Expression”

Some forms of expression don’t need a T shirt, sign, poster, or billboard. In fact, they don’t even need words. One glance and you can sense a state of emotion from the eyes, mouth, hands, and postures. For this photograph, I’m not going to reveal the location although you are welcome to leave a commentContinue reading “Street Photography: Expression”

Not all of the messages encountered on Times Square are political or weighty. Every day, the estimated 380,000 to 450,000 people that walk through the area are bombarded with advertising. You can double those figures for the number of eyeballs that corporations are vying for. It has provoked an arms of race of advertising thatContinue reading “Street Photography: Expression”

When I think of yesterday’s photograph in the context of the image above, it reminds me of the Newtonian law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. I was not sure if the sign was meant to be tongue in cheek. Is there really an organized political constituency of witches? Various mainstream mediaContinue reading “Street Photography: Expression”

The collisions are one of the many things that I love about New York City, especially in Times Square. It’s more than the near misses as one navigates through the crowds during rush hour. It’s also the collision of disparate cultures, languages, ethnicities, eccentricities, and political views. It makes sense. In 1904, the area wasContinue reading “Street Photography: Expression”
