Times Square

2006-06-05T16:51:00.000-07:00

Times Square in NYC = Energy. This “Energy” I speak of is not the kind that simply runs your electric can-opener, but one that runs life: provides it, upholds it, and is illuminated by it with neon lights and twinkling LEDs. Billboards surround you, tight and compact, as though you are a foreigner, standing in their dining room, looking at THEM like they are out of place, and them looking at you with a blank, confused, but inviting and enticing stare. Freedom in such an atmosphere is truly that – free. BECAUSE there are so many people going about their business, you make no difference to them, even if you are a heretic blaspheming the President, as long as you don’t talk smack about the enrapturing City of New York.

It's almost disgusting how this type of style is so predictible at the moment - from the pink shirt to the popped collar...however, this too shall fade faster than Britney's pregnancy ;-)

One of my favorites. It has given me the impression of "Heaven" by the golden light in the distance. Even though it looks like this was taken from up in the air, I was on my deck...if you look very close in the bottom left-hand corner, you can see the branches of trees.

This picture was taken in October of 2004. It centers my favorite skyscraper in the world, the PPG Building (Pittsburgh Plate Glass). I tweaked it slightly to enhance the color, used GIMP to get rid of a tent, two people, and a van, lol. Also, I erased the Fort Duquesne lines because they disturbed my main PPG focus. This photo also looks amazing in black and white with a high contrast. I believe this to be the best photo I have ever taken (out of approximately 8,000 digital photos) so you can imagine my joy at this foto. Pittsburgh is my heart's home - this shows it.
