A lot of the shots are from the Financial District in Lower Manhattan, since that's where I work (I try to religiously give myself a lunch photo-hour every day). It means a.) I'm tired of taking photos in that neighborhood but also b.) I have a pretty good idea of where to go for good light and interesting people! And thanks!

PS I do not work in finance.
ha, yeah i thought it was downtown. going to assume that you wear the camera around your neck all day long, as an arty totem separating you from your vampiric finance peers

You know the funny thing is after walking around taking photos in that area for a year or so, I really start to see people again and again that I've photographed. I get to feel like a real creep! "You might not know me.... but I *sure* know you."

Man, some of the stuff in this thread is really fabulous. I'm also v. glad to know about IHKH -- Yahoo's neglect of Flickr is really starting to piss me off, but there's nothing better yet.
Have been attempting to stop being so persnickety about the technicalities of photography recently, which sometimes results in pics I like: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5019/5641942552_084d7f2b51_z.jpg

that's amazing, stet. there is totally a new york times story about some confused, delillo-esque facet this century for which that is the masthead pic

downloaded the Nik Color Efex 4 demo to see what it is - 99% of the filters are useless and the vignette takes some work, but the film modules are quite nice (if you eliminate the fake grain). Not worth $200, but if the student discount gets it down to $70ish, I might buy it.

i can't remember if this was the thread we were talking about ways of displaying your photos online in, but, just to revive: so many nice sites are made with indexexhibit, & i've never got around to trying it because i'm kinda satisfied with what i've got. but just in case anyone's still looking. this is a neat example: http://k3rstijanw3rdal.com/project/family/ (i googleproofed, es for 3s)

am still really on a tri-x 400 kick, since starting shooting with it a while ago; its so radiant & lovely, there's something really other-worldly about it, & it's the only v midtonish b&w stock i've ever loved:

A bit more high contrast that usual. I must have been just exposing for highlights on this. Pretty sure that if I had a lab do the scan it would look bad.

Surreal. I mean, it's not that strange, but seeing that combination of things in a nice-looking neighbourhood is disorienting.
An acquaintance had some ink drawings in a showing last weekend. This guy was there, an artist of some local repute, apparently.

amazing, dayo, for real, everything therei was looking back at yr older IHKH shots a while ago & was thinking you're into a pretty like open field, generally, shooting more towards 16 - right? they're great, they look kinda 'societal' that way.
but those are all really just something else. the elevator.
