I am in self-imposed confinement, because my dermatologist attacked me, leaving my otherwise stunning appearance totally scary. I figured I could start looking at some of the images that need to be edited.
These were taken sometime during the last 18 months, and as most of you know, you could look at the image, and remember the exact moment you looked through the viewfinder to snap the image.
If I get a chance, I engage my subjects, both to see if they wish me to email them the image, and to enjoy thir company for a bit. I did so only with the last two in this series, for different reasons.
The young lady in the subway in the first image got off the train within a few seconds of my shooting her. The older woman crossing the street in a hurry boarded a bus.
They are in black-and-white, simply because they look better - maybe mood-wise.
The third image was taken from the passenger side window while my wife was driving. I think the two were engaged in a conversation, but that could be my faulty memory. I didn't see the image of the big guy waiting for the woman struggling to get herself into the bus until I downloaded it.
The last three are in or near Times Square. The man vacantly staring at me was not approachable. Normally, I do not like to shoot the disadvantaged, but with the background and his pose, I shot using the telephoto part of my zoom lens.
The lady with the hand was telling several of us her thoughts on something. That I remember, just not what the something was.
And lastly, the entertainer was adjusting an uncomfortable part of her costume.
