More New York City

While in Midtown taking a walk about town, I shot a few rolls of 120 film. I've got one developed and the other is waiting 'til I can get to it. From these photos, the last one is my favorite. She was standing on a street corner with a sign advertising some eatery or bar. While I was fiddling with the focus, she looked my way and I got that half smile just as she realized she was being photographed. When I walked away, she seemed to have a look on her face saying: "I'm stuck here holding this sign in the middle of winter; and you are freezing your ass off playing around with a forty year old camera. We're all in trapped in our own personal cages...Now walk on down the street." Crazy week.

Yes, this is an interesting group of photos. I like the first one the best--she has a great smile and she's doing something. One thing I don't understand. These people look happy, and I've heard that New Yorkers are a dour bunch.
Have I heard wrong? Anyhow, post some more.Dec 13, 2016 09:34:24 #
These are all nice street photos, and everyone seems to be happy--that's interesting. As for making a selection, I'd have to choose the first lady and the street vendor as my favorites. They are, however, your photos, and you were there, not me, so I understand why you might prefer the last one.

The African American woman with the sign is a New Yorker. That photo probably comes closest to representing New York sentiment.

I do like the shot with the vendor, and that woman dancing around was also really nice. I guess I like them all which is why I posted them; but that last shot, for some reason, really resonates with me.
