Artist living and working in Manhattan. Daily photos and occasional sketches/paintings ✌️
Summer of despair finally wrapping up. Fully ready to get into the semester and meet my new students 💪
Some random shots from a photowalk meetup a couple weeks back.

Angles.
Light in the city slices through shadows like a knife cleaving meat. We're left with these stark angles of inky black against blinding sunlit graphical shapes; irresistible fodder for the lowly street photographer.

A week ago, I had dinner with a key author of the AI consultation. Not just dinner: I berated them for about 7 hours. In return, they gave me a horrid cough. Which is a fair revenge. Anyway, here's a thread about what I took away from the conversation. These are my inferences, not quotes.

Some shots around sunny central park.
I found a group of NYC photographers who go out weekly and it's been just awesome. I've always went out alone and this feels like meeting the city all over again.

Random woman blows the walls out of the Bethesda Fountain tunnel in Central Park. She's a world class opera singer and I heard her from all the way across the pond before floating to her side, siren summoned.

Pause.
Sometimes the city feels empty save for one or two people. Like that moment when everyone stops talking at the same time then your previously private conversation booms through the echoey silence.

That classic upper west side shadow play. This was shot at a sneaky unnamed thoroughfare along Riverside Drive at 94th.

More sunny, hazy, and totally freezing Upper West Side meanderings. I love spring but I kinda want to hold on to the chill for just a little longer. My Montana blood, I suppose.

Every city has its own interesting contrasts. In NYC, it's often color, texture, and scale. I tried to get all three here and at that moment this burly gentleman stopped right in front of me. Thanks, guy ✌️

I am no purist. I use whatever kit I find and I shoot the hell out of it. This Knockofftilux was $175 off Temu. It's sharp as hell stopped down and a dream machine wide open. It's near Summilux size, all metal, clicky aperture, smooth focus throw. Perfect? Nah. Great? Yep!

Old shot using the Sony 16-35/4 ZA on the A7C. I haven't found a solution to shoot super wide on Leica yet. Considering the Voigtlander 15/4.5 with external viewfinder. Anything to justify playing with new kit 😋
