The wintry snow-rain mix once again greeted New York City on Feb. 25, 2010. As usual pedestrians did their normal rain dance. Here’s my version.

New York City was hit with a huge blizzard on Feb. 10, 2010. I decided to take a stroll in Central Park. This is what I saw.

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.

Here is a selection of images from this past week.

It seems like just about every day this past week it rained. Someone told me that it has rained 17 out of the 20 days in June. I definitely believe it!
The Central Park Zoo sea lions definitely enjoyed playing in the rain.

Ikhari, 10, and Thomas, 6, try to stay out of the rain during the Children of Abraham Peace walk in Brooklyn on June 11, 2009. The goal of the walk is to show the togetherness of Jews, Muslims, Christians and other religions as well as learn about each others traditions and houses of worship.
Part of the Children of Abraham Peace walk involved stopping at each religion’s house of worship. Here, at a Christian Church, participants sang songs.

Here are a couple more features I shot the past few days.
I was trying out the “Matt Mallams” technique with this one. This was an R&B quartet singing in Washington Square Park.
One thing I love about Union Square is that it’s always so lively. I had to shoot features all day and Union Square is my favorite place to go. I know that I’ll be able to find something there. Here was a group of hacky sack players – and they were good.
I’m always a little weary about shooting features of children. It’s always a touchy subject with some parents. The parents’ of these three girls, however, were really receptive and I managed to get a few classic “kids playing in water” shots in. This was also in Washington Square Park.

I haven’t updated my blog in quite a while and I’m fully aware. I am back in New York now and here are a few images that I would like to share.
This was some graffiti that caught my eye in Bay Ridge in Brooklyn. It reminds me of the days of yesteryear where graffiti was extremely prevalent inside New York City – especially the subways.
I was walking downtown and a man (or woman I suppose) in a panda suit was spotted in the corner of my eye. He must have had a long hot day in that suit. He was dozing off and I’m sure the weight of the panda head exaggerated his head bobbing.
