San Gennaro Feast - NYC- Little Italy

I had some fun at San Gennaro feast in Little Italy, with one or two other NY photographers. Here are some of the pictures I took along the way at San Gennaro where you certainly find some colorful characters.
Picture
Enjoying his Cigar was this gent from "Mulberry Street Cigars".

Picture
One proud dad and his little cute daughter at San Gennaro. Hey, dad's sure cheaper than a pony ride, and you go longer too!

Picture
Interesting face and eyes, even behind the specs.

Picture
A sweet and patient little girl getting her face painted.

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

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

Picture
Digging her adorable doggie.

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

Picture
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.

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

Picture
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.

Picture
No, I am not a narcissist!

Picture
Well, maybe just a little bit, lol.

Picture
Why talk, we can text!

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

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

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

Picture
San Gennaro - dresses for sale.

Picture
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.

Picture
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.

Roosevelt Island

A composited composition started in NYC near the Roosevelt Island tram.
As usual, click images to see larger.

Picture
On the way to the Tram to Roosevelt Island I spotted this metal artist doing his thing. When I stuck my head in, I was invited to come in and say hello. This very talented artist is named Valentin.

Picture
Valentin again this time taken from the ground level. He is making an ornate door. Another piece he had made was a small table made of metal with cloth rippled and pleated around the edge...except the cloth was metal he formed to look like fabric...quite amazing and beautiful.


Picture
NYC Artist's quarters with oil painting on table as seen.

Picture
This Manhattan building was photographed from the Roosevelt Island Tram. It's a fun ride with great views, but it doesn't last very long.

Picture
Fisherman leveraging his potential.

Picture
Many folk may not like pigeons, but they do make some people happy. Besides, if you had no toilet and were winged, you would probably poop everywhere too.

Picture
Two new friends I met along the way.

Picture
This Roosevelt Island drinking fountain is a pretty cool structure.

Picture
Photographer Sally lends a hand.

Picture
Isn't togetherness great. Now let's see them drink.

Picture
Even an aging flower can have charm and beauty.

Picture
The Pepsi sign in Queens as seen from Roosevelt Island. It's not Warhol, it's Willhol. (Sorry to be cryptic, but it is a play on my name, William.)

Picture
Artsygraphs here I come. I took this photo of a metal rusty pillar, and decided to use Photoshop to create this artwork to my liking. I possibly should post the original photo for reference..

Picture
Fellow photographer lending a hand here. What's his name you ask. Sorry, but I am not one to Tsk and tell. :-}

Picture
The little flowers did the trick and made my shutter click.

Picture
This tree on Roosevelt Island had great esthetic appeal re composition, texture, and color. Do you like nature?

Picture
Some fellow photographers doing the see, hear, and speak no evil thing (not in that order however).

Wow, how cool is NYC Halloween night for a lightjacker with his camera. The answer: Very cool.

Picture
This delightful young lady told my fortune to me on Halloween night in NYC. It was very cute but she failed to tell me that I would be posting her picture on 11/11/11.... ouch- better luck next time :}

Everybody loves a Clown?????
Click his photo to enlarge....if you dare.
Pleasant dreams!

Brooklyn Museum 1st Saturday of this month of November.

The Brooklyn Museum has a great offering the first Saturday of each month, which includes music, dancing, lots of great art, and for all this, it is free admission. Food and drink are available also. The spirit and energy of the crowd is good...Art brings out the best in a crowd I would say.
It's so nice watching people enjoying art.

This person just kicked back on one leg to read the description of the artwork. He enjoyed and relaxed, as did I.

Picture
These three females were seduced by the interesting and accomplished Justice Sonia Sotomayor, whose photo stands in front of them. It is part of a twenty five photo exhibit of the work of photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, which is called "The Latino List".
Here is a link which at this current time is valid. http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/latino_list/

And so the rain began to fall.

Here is one great old Dodge.

Picture
This car looks staged but nice.

Picture
Cool.

Picture
I really like this composition...it has a sense of static movement...huh.... what do you think?

Picture
When The Lightjacker covers the show's action, he is covering all the action!
