photographs and random miscellaney from my brain
macro empire state building
(I have a discontinued Nikkor 35-70 f/2.8 zoom lens that also has a macro option (my old boss, a nikon fanatic, convinced me to get this lens when they were killing the model, because it’s so awesome). I almost never take it off of my camera, even though it weighs about 800 pounds.)
a little late, but I wanted to get the benefit of class editing before I posted these, because I took a lot of photos geared towards the final “show” and I didn’t want to clog up the site with quite that many crappy pictures. So here are the best ones. again, my subject of choice is bicycles, and this week I tried to move away from the strictly “still life” nature of my prior photos and towards some more action-oriented shots. However, once we sat down and reviewed them, I definitely decided to go with the still life/detail shots. I prefer them compositionally. But here are a variety of pics of both types that I took this week:
oops! I forgot to actually take a photo today, so I was forced to wander around my building stairwell at 11pm to find something interesting.
election day.
(today was the first of the “theme” days in our 365 group, and the person who picked the theme picked the abstraction of “tuesday”. since it’s primary election day here in NYC (which always occurs on a Tuesday), I thought this most appropriate).
view from the pulaski bridge (my favorite picture from the century – more to be posted later after I’ve gotten some sleep!).
uh oh! it’s always a little disturbing to turn the corner onto your block and discover 6 fire trucks.
