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.
