In preparation

An interesting composition spotted while walking on the High Line.

Winter rooftop

On the roof of a building under construction on the northern edge of Williamsburg. I really like the tonal contrast in this photo.

Speakers' Corner

Last month I went to London and I made sure to stop by Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park, which seems to be the place to go if you're looking for an argument with strangers on a Sunday afternoon. I had a hard time working out what this speaker's agenda was, other than that he was enjoying his role of Roman orator. He knew how to rile up the crowd though!

The pedestal

When you see a guy sitting this way on a pedestal, you have to ask him if he'd mind having his photograph taken.

Veteran

I saw this gentleman relaxing on a sidewalk bench and struck up a conversation with him, he said that he was 82 years old and he had joined the Navy when he was 16. He's a local and he lives just across the street, but the neighbourhood has changed a lot, he said. I can believe it.

Do not disturb

Napping at the Prince Street sidewalk market.

Late afternoon

Late afternoon on a sunny day in Soho. Lines and textures caught my eye with this one.

Accidental symmetry

Wandering around Soho I came across these two guys on bikes creating some accidental symmetry on the sidewalk. They noticed me while I was shooting away but they kept talking while I waited for the background to arrange itself. Two minutes after this shot they were gone.

Glico man

A stranger hanging out on Ebisu-bashi in Osaka, next to a famous local landmark.

Post-industry

Outside the old Domino sugar factory on Kent Avenue in Williamsburg, with the bridge in the background.

Pinstriped suit

You don't see pin-striped suits that often nowadays, so when I saw this gentleman having a cigarette before getting on the subway I was compelled to ask him for a photo.

Glimpse

On the west side of Union Square there are a couple of small alleys that are usually closed off from the street. While walking past one of them I spied a waitress from the restaurant next door taking a break from work and snapped a photo.
