Green Kitchen Diner - New York
Color Of Night Series
I began my study of photography by purchasing some books from the Borders bookstore near my home. Lee Frost's "The Complete Guide To Night And Low Light Photography" was particularly inspiring. I used to sit and read it for hours on end, carefully looking at each photo and reading how it was captured.
Mr. Frost's beautiful work inspired me to experiment with taking pictures in the dark. I have always been fascinated by the color, texture, and drama of city lights at night. I love to capture shots like this.

Q Station At 72nd Street
New York's Newest Subway Line
The Q is a New York subway line that went into service a little over two years ago. The excavation and construction took many years and billions of dollars, but the stations are beautiful, the trains run smoothly, and the line offers speedy service between the Upper East Side, Midtown, Downtown, and Brooklyn.
The next time you're in town looking for something fun to do, take a ride on the Q!

New York Diner On Christmas Day
Merry Christmas 2018!
Obstructions are everywhere. Sometimes, we can work around them, but in many cases we have to include them in a way that doesn't detract from the subject.
I couldn't move the light poles, so I created a frame by placing them at about the same distance from either side of the photo. I like the not-so-subtle effect of the One Way signs pointing toward the diner, as if to say, "Look this way!"
The garbage cans are small in comparison to the poles, so their impact is minimal. It's New York. No one should be surprised that we have garbage here. It adds authenticity. ;-)
I did clone out an empty beverage cup that was rolling around in the street, and I used layers to erase a worker in the diner whose face was prominent in the original photo (luckily, I made multiple exposures). But the light poles, the garbage cans, the fire hydrant, and the delivery bike are all part of the composition, for better or for worse. There's a lot going on in the city. Sometimes, you have to work with what's in front of you.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
