p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Street Photography in NYC

34th St and 7th Ave provably is one of the busiest corners after Times Square in NYC, people is running to catch the next train to bring them home.

They are in a hurry and they don't care a guy is pointing them with a long lens.

i like the dark moods. nice.

with so many distractions, it'd be tough to spot someone so far off using a long lens, even if it's white.

I woulda thought it was everyone rushing to get to B&H.

Really like No. 1. I work in the area and avoid 7th Ave like the plague.

There's at least two shots where a subject has spotted you and paying attention to what you are doing.

Good to see the 'crowd' atmosphere.

Thank you Jim, the 200mm f2 is a big lens and people know I am pointing them, some just ignore it.

Thank you, it is my favorite too. I work on the area too and I hate 34th St during Holidays and Summer.

#2 and #5 for me. #2 because it shows the pace and movement of NYC. #5 because you got the eye contact!

I think in #6 one man looks to be raising his hand up "saying" no to the long lens.

Not my favourite style personally, but despite my prejudice I like #1 and #2 the most. I bet I would have liked them even more if you hadn't mentioned using a long lens! :P

I think the two I mentioned capture the image of tired crowds and a swarming city well and it reminded me of a scene from one of my favourite movies (and awesome inspiration for photography), "The Grand Illusion" in Koyaanisqatsi. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for the feedback Lydecker and the movie info, I'll check it this weekend.

For this kind of photography personally I don't use short lenses, I never point with my camera/lens to a person.

The guy was waving his hand smiling and saying "hello" :-)

I like every one for different reasons --- just a great series that captures individual personalities within a group. I can't recall ever seeing that executed as effectively as your work here.

Thanks!
