New York City ~ My Other Love ~ Part II

Maybe another reason why I love NYC so much is because, like Paris, I see it mostly in B&W. But I don’t believe that photography should be all color or B&W. The photographer has to let the subject dictate the choice.

Here are a few of the color subjects I saw a few during my New York wanderings last month… If you missed the New York in B&W post, see it here.

This is a comment unrelated to photography. Valerie, I hope you have dual citizenship; I wish I did. Right now I would move to France. (Don’t go before next weekend when you are scheduled to be in Berkeley!)

  Sorry, I must have missed replaying to this comment Gary. I don’t have dual citizenship, I’m a French citizen only 🙂

  Merci! Oui, mais j’y enseignais un stage de Street Photography avec trop peu de temps pour ma photo personelle 🙂

It’s interesting. I find your BW perfect for Paris and your color perfect for NY.

  Thank you Ghita… But woudn’t you say that it’s more about the subject than the location? These would definitely lose interest in B&W but the pics in Part I would not gain anything in color.

    Yes, Valérie, you’re right about the subject. Part I is very much about light and shadow and best in BW.
    I guess my reply says more about my emotions – that your color ones speaks NY to me, and your BW Paris seems to Parisian and timeless 🙂 Always love your work.
