See S.I.

Hi all:

I realized it had been a few weeks, so I thought I'd send a long a couple of recent images.  I have an image in my studio yet to print, but these two were shot on my most recent trip to NYC.  I hadn't been on the Staten Island Ferry in years - the whole dock area has been updated and is way nicer than the dump I remember from my visits during college.  But, the boat still has its old school charm, and I snapped a couple of pics on my way to Manhattan.  I'm particularly fond of this Statue of Liberty image that I shot out the window...



This portrait turned out ok too... I kinda like the contrast of the warmth of the image with his outfit and the technology he's holding.  Interesting that the guy is holding his cell phone but still looking directly forward....maybe he knew I was taking his picture, even though I tried the whole "I'm shooting out the window" fake-out.   Regardless, most of you know that I don't take portraits too often, so this is definitely an anomaly.


So, a couple of images to tide you over until I finish this next print.    In the meantime, enjoy what I'm hoping is the start of spring!
