I like taking photos of people taking photos. These two Union-Square denizens laughed when they realized I did just that.
Their happy moment was stolen with my cheap Canon 50mm 1.8 lens.

Scene From an Apple Store
I shot this by pointing my camera at a window to capture the reflection of the Apple store interior on top of the view of the Old Homestead Steakhouse across the street, and then I flipped the image in Aperture so the letters on the iMac sign wouldn’t be backwards.

Foggy Highway
Okay this wasn’t shot with my beloved cheap-ass Canon 50mm lens – it was done on a plain-old Canon point and shoot.
That keeps with the theme of this blog – that cheap gear can get the job done.
This picture kind of gives me a headache though. Maybe I shouldn’t like it.
Michael Shulman – Violinist Extraordinaire
I found Michael Shulman performing an amazing cover version of Guns & Roses’ Sweet Child ‘O Mine in the Union Square subway station – complete with distortion and wah-wah on his electric violin. He also did a killer Billy Jean.
He’s not the first violinist I’ve caught at Union Square, but he may be my favorite.
Visit his website at BlackViolin.com.
Like everything else, this was shot with the cheap Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens.
Lafayette Avenue
I don’t see many black & white long exposure shots out there, so I figured I’d put one of mine up here. This was taken on Lafayette Avenue in NYC.

Spying at ABC Carpet
Yes, I can be a bit of voyeur. I spotted this lady in ABC Carpet (I think!) in between some cups.

A Couple of/with Cameras
I wish I’d zeroed in on the girl’s butt with the Leica hanging over it. But they were a cute pair and I wanted to get them both in, vintage cameras and all.

The Baby
I really enjoy taking pictures of babies. Other people’s babies, that is.

Free Hugs – Who Could Say No?
It’s always a good day when the free hug girls are out in force. I especially love the girl holding the sign’s devilish smile.
