A Beautiful Face at the Musum
Do I really need to say much here? She’s beautiful, is she not? Shot with you know what. The cheap 50 remains an amazing portrait lens.
Kiddies At The Wedding
Not shot with my trust cheap Canon 50mm lens, but with another lo-fi sort of solution – my HTC Droid Incredible cameraphone. It’s got nothing on even the cheapest point & shoot, but I was too damn lazy to pull out my DSLR at this wonderful wedding.
Getting Meta
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.
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 [...]
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. Shot with cheap Canon 50mm lens, processed in Aperture 3.
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. Shot with cheap Canon 50mm lens, processed in Aperture 3.
The Baby
I really enjoy taking pictures of babies. Other people’s babies, that is. Taken with my cheap Canon 50mm f/1.8.
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. Taken with my cheap Canon 50mm f/1.8.
The Union Square Violinist
I love street performers as they pretty much always make great subjects. This young lady, who was performing in the 14th Street/Union Square station was no exception, and didn’t seem to mind be getting near her to snap away. Taken with my cheap Canon 50mm f/1.8.
The Pickup Artist
I gotta give this guy some credit – he sure was trying to charm these fine young ladies to score some change, or maybe even a little love. Taken with my cheap Canon 50mm f/1.8.
The City Bakery Girl
City Bakery used to be a regular coffee spot for me, but if I’m in the city these days, I’ll usually opt for D’Auito’s on 30th and 8th. Anyway, one day I was enjoying my coffee and a cookie at City Bakery and spotted this girl sitting across for me. She kept making all these [...]
The Arrest
I was kind of bummed out to see this kid get hauled away by the cops – but I’ll give credit to the NYPD here, they were actually very nice to him. I don’t know why I left the pigeons in the bottom. A sign of freedom maybe? Taken with my cheap Canon 50mm f/1.8.
Girl Grabs Billy Gibbons’ Crotch
Silhouettes never get old, and I will shoot them whenever I see them. I didn’t plan the whole crotch thing – it was just one of those happy accidents that I didn’t even know happened until I fired up Aperture later that night. As you may be able to tell from the sign, this was [...]
