What Things May Come

So I wanted to give my shot at doing some incognito street shooting. I geared up with a Leica D-Lux 4 and hit the streets. Here is my first take.

This past week was characterized by tragedy and heat. Always a tough week.

Raul Geraldo Escalante (right) and Yolanda Pablo grieve for their son Axel Pablo at their apartment in East Harlem on Aug. 14, 2009. Pablo was killed by a cab driver on E. 112th Street on Aug. 13, 2009.

Tinkerbell tries to find some shade under Alyssa Martinez of Manhattan at Central Park on Aug. 16, 2009. The temperature hit a high of 91 degrees Fahrenheit.

Children play in the fountain at Washington Square Park to beat the heat on Aug. 16, 2009.

The Puppeteer’s Cooperative perform “Beautiful Princess Rat of the MTA” at the Lincoln Center on Aug. 15, 2009.

So I had a day off on Aug. 12, 2009 and I decided to break out my Holga lens and my 45 mm Tilt-shift…

Here are my favorite pics

So I was scrounging through some of the pictures I took in Iraq and put together this little series…

Army Capt. Crary surveys the Iraqi landscape aboard a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter.

Cpl. Gifford holds up his pet dog “Slick” who was adopted as a stray at his patrol base.

Interpreter “Mikey” comforts an Iraqi infant who is suffering from skin rashes.

Spc. Molina poses with an Iraqi girl after giving her a bottle of water.

Spc. Morrissey looks on as Iraqi citizens wait in line to receive medical checkups.

Sheik Khudair, a local Iraqi sheik, waits for a conference with other local leaders to beign.

1st Lt. Bojarski takes some time off to joke around with fellow soldiers.

I didn’t have the best week of stuff. So instead of not having an update at all, I decided just to post on photo that I sorta liked from this week.

Brian Fischler, a blind comedian, waits at the subway platform with his guide dog, Nash.

I was walking through Washington Square Park and I saw a man covered in pigeons. I went closer to inspect and started talking to him. His name is Paul and he says he’s simply known as “The Birdman.” He is in the park every day to feed the pigeons because he just loves their company.
