New York photos
I’m ashamed to admit I didn’t take many pictures while in New York this trip. In part it was just the nature of the trip. Wednesday was all driving, then the performance. Since I knew there was no photography allowed in the Joyce, I decided not to lug the camera downtown. Had I known it would snow, I probably would have brought it along though. The next day I brought the camera, but rarely brought it out, things were wet, windy and very, very cold. I did take a couple of texture and detail shots in the subway, along with this shot of Julio and “Lupita” dancing for the crowds at the Union Station(?) subway stop. Friday was spent mostly relaxing in Park Slope, painting and playing, with one trip to the Co-Op before we left town.
On Thursday I did brave the cold and wind to make it into B&H of course – even though it was across town from every other stop we were making – dragging my wife and son with me. Johann entertained store customers and employees while I tried to decide on a tripod to get and looked at some lenses and flash accessories. My wife finally – after actually going into B&H instead of just looking through their catalog – understands why I could get lost in there for a couple of days. I managed to walk out of there pretty cheaply. I only got a new tripod and a diffuser for the flash. Next time it will be harder to escape so cheap, as now it’s time to start replacing lenses and get some better lights for studio setups.
