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.
