Just 9 more days ...

It's interesting how in the color version of this photo, I can barely see the mountains. In the black and white version, they are clearer.

Bagger bagger bagger bagger bagger ...

Another shot from the beach at Carkeek Park, using my Holga medium format camera. The beach is mostly rocks, but I think I was there are low tide.

Another shot using the Holga. Shot on the beach at Carkeek Park.

Can you tell what this is?

This obelisk, called Cleopatra's Needle, is hidden in NYC's Central Park.

Tired.

100 Days of Black and White Photos: Day 82

I hope bugs don't creep you out. I was talking to my coworker about the window cleaner that has been cleaning the windows of the building across the way from us for the last couple of days. A huge bug landed on the window. While I ran to go get my phone and macro lens, two of my coworkers were debating about whether or not the bug had wings and how did it get up so high without wings.

My coworker who is about 6'3" or 6'4" is deathly afraid of heights. I know his height shouldn't matter, but it is an amusing fact. Whenever he sees window washers like the guy in the photo, he gets scared for them.

I found some more long lost photos. At one point in time, I use to use Aperture. Do you remember Aperture? It use to be the main competitor for Adobe Lightroom.

This photo represents me getting back into shooting film. It also represents the first time I developed film by myself, it represents the first time I developed color film, and it is also the first time I cross-processed slide film. Last but not least, it represents the patience needed when loading film onto the spool to be developed.

I added a bonus photo. I didn't make it the main photo because the quality isn't great. I took it with my phone, it was shot through a window that had lots of glare and I had to use the digital zoom to get the subject in the photo.

This guy ran out of f*#ks to give and went to sleep in the middle of the sidewalk, which was also a bus stop .. that, or substance abuse overload ...

It's like being on an urban safari hunt ...

I can agree with this statement. At least that is how I felt today. Today is Columbus day and my job is one of the few places that seems to still want to ignore the type of person Columbus was and still give this day off as a holiday. Since Monday is a day I usually have to wake up early and leave the apt, I decided to go visit Carkeek Park. I have been wanting to visit it for close to a year.

I tried to connect my old monitor to this netbook, but the screen shows up sideways. So that was a fail. I think it is time to let the monitor go too. I've had that for ... I'm not even sure, but I've had it since my first apt. So maybe close to 8 years.

I had trouble trying to figure out how to crop this photo. Cropping it in different ways makes the photo tell different stories. The photo isn't that great, but it has meaning to me. It currently represents progress and over coming obstacles.

This photo was originally supposed to be about a stuffed bird with a 2 dollar bill in its beak, but while editing this photo, I saw this.

Do you see that American flag? Well on Tuesday it was flying at half-staff. I noticed it and wondered why. None of the other flags in the area that could be seen were at half-staff. Five minutes after I noticed, my coworker asked out loud why the flag was at half-staff. He didn't even noticed that I had just gotten up to check for the same thing.

This is my laptop. Correction, this was my laptop. It died this morning. Can we have a moment of silence.

Last Wednesday the furniture for the waiting area at the front of the office was delivered. The delivery was after 6 PM. Me and two other coworkers were there late to receive them. Boy were we shocked when we saw the furniture. You can't tell from the black and white photos so I posted bonus color photos below.

Most days I feel like the fly. Once in a while I feel like the windshield.

100 Days of Black and White Photos: Day 65

I spent the night using my step up ring, 10+ diopter macro filter, and my mirrorless camera "scanning" film negatives. I did this all while trying to finally watch videos on my youtube watch later list (I had 100+ videos). Because of all of this, I almost forgot to post my photo for the day and it is almost 2 AM.

I call this: Conquering Mount Lazy.

I was suppose to head to a park today and take photos, but when I woke, up my body and mind had other plans. By the time I was fully awake and functional, it was close to 2 PM.  I managed to get this shot during parts of the times this morning I was awake and conscious.

If you didn't know, I like owls.

This is the longest streak I've had with an incremental project ever and it is killing me. I'm running out of ideas and of photos (past or present) to post. Photography is a creative outlet and stress reliever for me, but the pressure of posting everyday doesn't help. There are several times I just wanted to go to bed early, but I couldn't because I hadn't posted my photo yet.

I use to hang out in Riverside Park South and River Side Park after work and on the weekends. The parks start at 60th street and go all the way up to 129th street on the westside of Manhattan.  If I remember correctly these building are one of Trump's many luxury residential buildings.

I use to live in Harlem.
