moving this site

For sure, in the next few days, this photo site will be moved to:
http://www.barichrome.com
I think that this site will stay here, but I won't be able to modify it any more. All the photos that are here will also be at the other site, and all new posts will be there as well. Pardon the construction you may see for the next month or so when you go over there.

whatchoolookinat?

This little guy was patrolling Herald Square and luckily he approved of me... this time.

hangout

biker, father, 6 train

having lunch

In New York you can have lunch anywhere.

three men in blue

I'm forcing myself out of the office at lunch and I'm enjoying getting some snaps again. As many street photographers may tell you, the hardest part is to choose and edit the photos and then put them up. I've got a lot of things that I feel have potential and just lack the time to do anything with them. I enjoyed these three guys very much. They were engaged in a pretty animated conversation.

vinny's stars

Superman in Dingos

This guy is often hawking perfume in Herald Square. I'll try to get a better shot of him in the future, but I was late getting to the subway. I have had absolutely no spare time lately, and it's only going to get less. Announcements forthcoming...

counting aluminum sheep

You'd be tired too if you gathered as many cans as this guy did. I'll keep up a little longer with the shots near my office, since I didn't do too good with my "one a day goal".

reflexion

In an attempt to get myself back on track, I'm going to set a theme for this week. All photos this week (one each day) will be taken within a 5 block radius of my office in mid-town. Let's see how this goes.

don't go anywhere

Confusion reigns for a few seconds at 231st St.

weird things going on

My site host recently went through some changes and ever since then things have gone kind of weird with it. I've kind of gotten it fixed how so you should be able to see all pages of the site, including all the subject tags. Like my personal favorites, for instance. I still haven't gotten all the kinks worked out, but it is better than it was.

very narrow venice alley

It's been over a year since our big trip abroad and I'm still stumbling across pictures that I enjoy. This was the narrowist alley I've ever seen. It was sprinkeled with little grafitti stickers everywhere, but you might not be able to see them at 500 pixels wide.

pigeon perched

master of the obvious

We take a break from "artist" photos to bring you an example of your tax dollars at work.

fastidious

This guy was carefully cleaning little bits of something off the road.

shopping dogs

good hair day

beauty in the bronx

There is beauty to be found everywhere, if you are willing to be flexible in the way you look at things. The first photo below is from a nice group of shots I took a about a week ago. The second shot is from a distance a way so you can see the whole scene. This flowers are growing in front of a gas station in the Bronx.

waiting for street meat

Not a great shot, maybe, but I enjoyed popping the camera into the back window of this food cart and getting this shot.

three wheeler

Taken at 5th and 34th.

flaw in chemistry

This was taken very close to this one during a street fair. If you are really, really know Manhattan well, you might be able to tell me the closest cross street based on one clue in the picture.

chicken plant

Not too long ago, while Sandy and I were walking out of our building, Sandy noticed this uprooted plant that had been apparently thrown out of someone's window to the ground. We hid it in the bushes and went back and got it later that night. It's still alive, I can tell it's pretty thankful for the rescue. Kind of like an herbal version of this story.

golden gate

What photo site is complete without a nice, warm sunrise shot of the Golden Gate Bridge? None, I say. I risked a pretty hefty parking ticket to get this one.

novel romance

"I wonder", thought Greg, "If I continue staring blankly at the pages of this very thick and impressive looking novel - will she ever notice me?"

meter made

As much as I love getting shots around NYC, sometimes it just isn't practical to keep my camera bag with me. Then there is the added complication of being out of town nearly half the month of July, and being limited in the things I could take with me. Nevertheless, my enthusiasm is unabated.

Couple of things I'm happy about. I've finally decided to start thinking about possibly learning how to post process photos. Most of the shots you see here have had precious little done to them out of the camera. While I doubt I'll ever do a ton of editing to my photos before posting (I think it would make me lazy when taking the photos), I'd be kidding myself if I didn't admit that they could benefit from such a thing. The first step is getting the software, which I'm planning on getting tomorrow.

stilt building

As safe as I hope this building is, the fact that it seems to teeter on toothpicks has always slightly freaked me out.

can lady

I need to be truthful. I stalked this woman for about 5 minutes to get these photos. She has been collecting cans in my neighborhood since I moved here, and she is extremely industrious, often pushing carts so laden that I have visions of nature videos where ants are lifting 20 times their body weight. I'm not implying that she looks like an ant, but I am implying that you can stalk my camera phone in the long droughts between pictures I put on this site.

canine political discourse

Charlie communicates his political views to his conservative owner the only way he knows how.
