Enjoying his Cigar was this gent from "Mulberry Street Cigars".

Interesting face and eyes, even behind the specs.

A sweet and patient little girl getting her face painted.

I think someone is feeling good about the results.  :-}

Ah ha, the face paint artist herself. She does a great job and the kids loved it.

Digging her adorable doggie.

Interesting way to take out your pet...what would the dog whisperer say about this one.

So I told him I would like to take his photo, and he said, I'd like a buck, I gave it to him, and voila. I respect entrepreneurship, and he was cool.

This little dude saw me shooting him, and shot me right back.

This cute little one felt she was supposed to smile, but just had some reservations when my big old camera pointed at her. Very cute indeed.

Why talk, we can text!

With all the hustle and bustle outside, this gent relaxes in a nice cool restaurant and reads his paper.

When I admired this nice Serbian girl's bicycle decor,
she said to me "I love my flowers". I like her style.

N.Y.'s Bravest kicking back during quiet time.

San Gennaro - dresses for sale.

I spotted this gentleman at the San Gennaro feast carrying a glass which happened to echo his jacket.....so I had to call him over for some photos and told him what I saw. He was cool about it as was his lady friend who called out " put up your arms so he can see them", which, as you can see, he did. They were a fun couple. I told her she was my honorary art director.

Like I said to him, you look so much better with this pretty lady by your side. He acknowledged.
It's the people and their good spirits that make San Gennaro fun.

Reflect on your sole.

This exhibit caught some attention. It is not hard to see why. Maybe I will head over to the flower shop... ya think?

A Brooklyn Museum visitor enjoying the art.

I took my liberties in Photoshop to create this image. The mirror and girl are real, their graphic portrayal has been given new life.

The reflection of the gentle sculpture coming off of the glass of the picture behind it, combined with a less than gentle picture composition, intrigued me. Click to enlarge for a clearer view

I've never been quite that hungry.

A very old map.

I appreciate the compositional synergies between the art in the background and foreground in this photo.

If you were in the Brooklyn Museum recently, you would probably understand what is going on in this picture.
Ok I'll give it up... the man on the right is pasted onto the mirror... part of an exhibit. The reflection of the man in the green shirt was changed by me to black and white (mostly.. it needed to be matched in tone and slightly in hue to the man on the right). Well, you asked for it!

This delightful lady enjoyed my showing her this digital photo just taken of her as she was appreciating this wonderful artwork.
