Spring Foliage #1

There is no way a camera can capture the beauty of a day like today…the trees with their tender green leaves, the sky so blue and the air so fresh and cool. But I gave it a shot.

Union Square #1

Union Square was mobbed today, the warm weather brought New Yorkers out in droves. Armed with a longer lens than I typically use for street photography, and shooting wide open, I tried to catch the chaos–and the individuals lost in the crowd. I’m not sure if I’ll try this technique again, but I do think it conveys the congestion of the city and, perhaps, how alone we all can be in a crowd.
