Rainy Day Scooter, and other photos!
I'm going to broach a controversial topic. I called this a scooter, but technically it was a moped. I say was, because if you look closely, the pedals appear to be non-operational.
I've lived in New York City for a few years now. It is still crazy to me that there are little convenience stores on the subway platform. In fact on the Long Island Railroad and Metro North they sell alcohol right on the platform as well.
Later in the day I was working in south Brooklyn. But this is representative of the decrepit state of much of the subway system. Which they are always building on top of, instead of repairing.
lovely series of the life around you and even in two shots i cant see people - i can feel them very well !
Thanks! I tend not to focus on photographing people. I'm more fascinated with the environment that is NYC than the people who are in it. Though I do from time to time run across interesting people.
Also, several of my recent posts are from Midwood, an orthodox Jewish section of Brooklyn that I was working in. The Lubavitcher and Chabad Jewish population in these areas generally do not like to be photographed. They have sued journalists for photographing them, and confronted tourists and other private photographers for same. I respect their wishes in this regard. Nobody owes it to anyone else to be part of a photograph, whether for art, journalism or novelty. Some street photogs take the stance that anyone in the public arena is game to be photographed, as under US and some European laws this is technically true.
This may get you off the hook legally, however I would rather err on the side of respecting an individuals right to privacy, even when walking down the street. If I do capture someone in a photograph and they ask me to delete, I always comply.
I guess I had my coffee this morning?
