This is a flashback of two posts we did back in 2006...Just some photos we have taken...no Photoshop was used on these, though, as we look at them - there are some things we would love to play with...and very possibly will...These were all taken with a Canon A-1 with a Canon 80-200 Zoom attached. Analog...wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy before there was digital cameras...OLD SCHOOL
"SUNSET"1000 Islands in Northern NY State
Looking at the Canadian Side
Personally, I never color edit sunrises or sunsets.
"GLOBE REFLECTIONS" Rockefeller Center - NYC
Decorative Globes and Their Reflections
"WILD GRASSES" Taken On The Eastern End Of Long Island
Here we might blowout the background, thus letting the
in-focus buds leap off the page.
"MACY'S FIREWORKS"Taken from roof of apartment on east side of Manhattan
I would like to go in and blacken the sky to enhance the fireworks.
"TRUNK"Shot somewhere on the Delaware River
The lone leaf floating - the rocks framing the trunk
The absence of color even in a color photograph all came together.
This is one we might go total gray-scale or even colorize it to something outside of nature.
"It's My Z"The license plate from the infamous "second love"
I really wanted "ITZMYZ", but it was already taken
Simple...straighten the car.
"BEST FRIENDS"
This was taken on Central Park South, in Manhattan, where the hansom cabs line up to take people for rides through the park. The driver and his horse were bonding and all my brain kept thinking was that an owner and their pet grow to look alike.
"In His Eyes"
This gentleman was sitting on a bench in Central Park when I saw him. I was about 50 yards away and had my telephoto lens, so he never knew I was shooting him. It was his eyes that got to me. There semed to be depth in them...not the emptiness you see so often in the eyes of the homeless.
“BRASS”
Street musicians in Manhattan are as common as sidewalks. As I was walking by, this combo had taken a break and my eye caught the intersections of the brass from the instrument, the music stand and the music lights. I snapped it.
Finally...just some tulips growing in Central ParkIf we are not mistaken, this is the first song Taylor Hicks sang after they had cut to the Final 12 during season five.
A great Elton John/Bernie Taupin composition. Taylor did a great job with it that evening and we remember thinking...'he has done this with his band'...
We were right...this is the Taylor Hicks Band - before that show. The band is now know as The Little Memphis Blues Orchestra.
As we have uploaded this, nothing is playing from lifelogger - even music we have used in the last week.. we hope that is rectified for you.
Have A Great Weekend...
ENJOY....
