East Village NYC

5/5/2014

I had a nice walk in Manhattan through the East Village with a group of lightjackers this weekend. Here are a few of my photos from that enjoyable day.
Picture
I love the trees of springtime with their light green leaves that are small and spaced enough to create a verdant vale which colors yet reveals the subject behind it.

"Two Faced"
Thank you Photoshop.

Soft and hard, light and dark, opposites attract.

I love "family", don't you?
When I first saw these little watering cans only form and color stood out...then I noticed what I was missing, the story.

Cool Old Motor Home.


How did they find a parking space for this monster in Manhattan?

Cool Old Motor Home in perhaps a more interesting detailed view and composition. How do you feel about that?

Here is what this image's original raw file revealed. Now check below.

It is pretty wild to see what details you can extract with a bit of work in Lightroom and Photoshop. Hidden gems revealed... much fun. Do you see the familiar Cool Old Motor Home across the street?
By the way, the F and 21 in the sign to the right were actually part of text saying "Store For Rent" and "212-753- etc. phone number"- any takers? If so, the clue to its NYC location is present in the photo.

Picture
Here are a couple of photos of an old Cadillac parked on the street. It was pretty beat up and some parts were falling off. However, it still survives and is, indeed, a Cadillac.

Picture
Once again this is the raw file photograph right out of the camera. No post processing, no color or contrast, no art, no life. This old classic deserves more. Photo below kicked it up a bit...your style may vary, the creative possibilities are endless, exciting, and fun.

Picture
STILL CLASSY!

I needed a model for the next series of photos, so I asked my beautiful fellow photographers for assistance. They were very willing to help and voila, I had my model and was quite ecstatic.
Of course as you can see, one petal was missing. :-)

I'm on the fence about this one :}

My beautiful little somewhat dried yet still aromatic rose was a wonderful model as you can plainly see.
I was so appreciative of its beauty that I stuck the bottom of its stem into a pocket of the camera-bag hanging on my back, allowing it to project proudly and clearly upwards for the world to admire. Unfortunately shortly afterwards in an eatery, while standing on line, some horrific roughian banged into me crushing the little beauty, knocking off all but a couple of its fragile dried petals and sending it crashing onto the floor.
I hope you appreciate the little rose's charm, beauty, and now its sacrifice. Be not sad however, for it lives on, in our hearts.
(If and when I regain my composure I will, perhaps, post more photographs of my session with the little flower.)   ;)
