The procrastinators

I tried to crop this so you couldn't see the window frame but it ended up looking too open, like the guys were waiting to get into a field of flowers. With the window frame in the picture the guys look a little more trapped.

Midtown Mess

There's one of those steam chimneys in the middle of 6th Ave at 48th Street that is always pumping out huge amounts of steam. I've been waiting for an opportunity to make use of it.

Only on the L

You'll need to view the really large size of this but down on the L train tracks there is a hypodermic needle sitting next to a knitting needle. Sounds about right.

Valentine's storm

My hope was that the heart in the background would pop a bit more. I probably could have forced the issue with photoshop but I'll accept what the camera saw. The composition isn't a total failure.

Lunch

Hudson Corner

This was just a plywood shot but there's something about the light that I like. About 5 minutes after this it snowed like heck.

The two above are my biggest regrets of the day. I just couldn't get a clean square shot of both trucks, there was just no way. I should probably delete them but right now I still see the shot I wanted them to be.

The office

As meager as it looks, I get the feeling that space in the back of the plane means a lot to the flight attendants.

The color of morning

Early morning on an overcast day. I had the hardest time with the color, though I like the light very much. I suspect the window I was shooting through had a bit of tint that was making things bluer. Then again, overcast mornings are kind of blue anyway, so it was hard to take out the window color but leave the natural color.

Cross country with a clean window

Crossing the border - the plane few part of the trip over Canada. This point is far western New York, just crossing over.

Lake effect - East of Green Bay is an outcropping of land and then Lake Michigan. The air was clear over the land but you could see it pick up water as soon as it hit the lake.

Fresh snow east of Fargo - The plane window has a bit of a prism property to it so while colors are already odd, they do some weird things by the time the camera is done. By the time I finished processing this whole series I found a few tricks for taming the color a bit.

Eastern Montana Plateau

Mid-Montana - Amazing how the fields go right up to the edge of the cliff.

Usually this is an amazing view but it was mostly cloudy as the folks living down there are getting hammered with record snows and avalanches. This was one little hole before it all turned white.

Here we go again

El Beit opens in former Read Cafe spot

Now I feel justified in saying the name sounds like "albeit"and means "home" but I couldn't find it in a search. It's two words.

Not a whole lot done with the space but at least they got the doors open when they said they would.

Liberty crosses

Architectural Salvage Warehouse

Moto

I finally found Moto this weekend. I'd gone looking for it a few times, knowing only generally where it was and never managing to stumble upon it. Turns out it's on the south side of Broadway, which I didn't realize.

Right now I can't think of a more photogenic coffee house.

Dinner break

Pizza Man

My pizza man shares an interest in photography and I was showing him the range of my new lens (22-10mm). I got a couple portraits out of it. :)

Green Point Savings Bank

I happened to have tripod and camera handy while waiting for my pizza to cook.

Houston Auto Repair

Good weather lately to sell soup

I like that the condensation on the window makes the whole place feel extra soupy.

One Madison Park

This has kind of an HDR quality with the way the signs and headlights are glowing but it just happened to be the right time of day so the lights were on but the sky had enough light to show the building.
