Solstice ends

The December light has been so beautiful. This year instead of trying to photograph it, I just let the light was over me, selfishly. Here is one of the few pictures I took. I love how December light brightens everything it touches, even a chain link fence.


It glints off of metal in the distance. This is one of my favorite things about December light, but it is very hard to capture.


This rusty door caught the gleam a little.

The days are now a few minutes longer, the young sun is shining briefly and bright.

The Subway Outside

I love when the subway comes out of its tunnel. The car is filled with light and a view appears. I really like the trains that ride over the Manhattan Bridge. There is often scratchitti on the windows. I love the way the scratched window alters the view.


The Williamsburg Bridge is in the distance gleaming in the December light. It was one of those icy cold days. There was a lot of wind blowing huge clouds around.

Parkours

There is so much I would like to do with this; the impossible views, the motion...



I love the way the traceur interacts with the architecture.



I have many more pictures which I will post once I have printed them. I am working in black and white negative film, it is a slower process than digital.

Autumn Leaves

There is a moment in the autumn when the tree colors seem to pop. And then it rains and everything glows under the greenish light. I usually just enjoy watching the colors. But these leaves fell on those mysterious writings one often finds on the sidewalk which inform city workers of what is lying underground. The yellow spray paint went so well with the rain slicked leaves, I could not resist.
