New York City in Black and White.

Once again this year, I started the month of October in Paris and finished it in New York. Two of my most favorite cities. My visit to NYC was full and so rewarding! I spoke at Photo Plus Expo at the Javits Center as a Fujifilm Ambassador on Thursday and Friday, taught my street photography workshop on Saturday and Sunday and gave a lecture at the New York City Botanical Garden on Monday morning. I met so many wonderful people and spent time with some old friends as well. Does it get much better than that?

Here are some of the B&W photographs I captured in the Big Apple this year. Colors to come next!

  Thanks! To get the burst I shot at F/16 and stopped down about 3/4 of a stop in exposure compensation.

More wonderful street photography. I was following these during the week. It was nice seeing them combined. My favorite is the girl with the mobile phone lighting her face. I know it is a common occurrence in today’s world, but the quality just makes it uncommon.

The “Lit Up” image is particularly nice. There is something eerie about the light from her MAC hitting her face.

All of these are fantastic, but I especially like the first and last for their dramatic lighting.
