A study in shapes, colors, and textures, Manhattan
When I photograph urban/street subjects I am usually looking for quite a range of different things: individual people doing interesting things, masses of people, odd little vignettes, color and line, and sometimes the urban landscape itself. It is, I think, possible to regard the city as a kind of landscape, and even to photograph it in ways that are similar but perhaps not identical to how we photograph the so-called natural landscape.
On this day I was on foot (hiking?) through Manhattan, on my way to meet people, when we passed through the area around Washington Square. The stark and angular architecture of this bit of a building caught my attention, and some of the colors and textures brought to mind a sort of idealized representation of the red rock canyons of the Southwest.

"Habits of thought in the tradition of science are not readily changed, it is not easy to deviate from the customary channels of accumulated experience in conventionalized subjects."
– G. L. Jepsen (1949) as quoted by Niles Eldredge, "Time Frames: The Evolution of Punctuated Equilibria" (1985).
"I swear that what I went through, no animal would have gone through." This sentence, the noblest ever spoken, this sentence that defines man's place in the universe, that honors him, that re-establishes the true hierarchy, floated back into my thoughts.
– Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, "Wind, Sand and Stars".
"What sort of countenance does love have? What sort of shape does it have? What sort of height does it have? What sort of feet does it have? What sort of hands does it have? No one can say. Yet it has feet, for they lead to the Church. It has hands, for they stretch out to the poor person. It has eyes, for that is how he is in need is understood: Blessed, it says, is he who understands."
– Augustine of Hippo, "Homilies on the First Epistle of John".
This is one of the best pairs of buildings to shoot. This is one of those perfect-moment shots, too, because the buildings look connected, yet you can see the red one's reflection.
It's especially dreamy at sunset, when it looks like someone's been playing tic-tac-toe on it. And then there are the storms.
Unscientific but illustrative comparison of three French bicycle geometries: Motoconfort "Cyclotouriste", Castelot/Mareze "Campeur", and Gitane "Coureur"
What do you do to relax after a day of weirdness? Somebody makes yoga, somebody rides a bike, somebody eats... I do geometry... origami is for when I'm still acceptably present to myself... this is when I'm beyond... I call it "crazy lazy geometry" surfing... it is a good activity. It is crazy because there is no logic in it... it is completly random like doing tarots and write a story about the cards you get (it is not an idea of mine somebody did it before...) ... it is lazy because you use a software and just watch what happens without doing anything and it is geometry because... it is obvious. Anyway I downloaded some times ago this great surfer software, that is a basic surfer... word that tastes more of freedom by the sea than freedom by algebraic surfaces... I got it at Imaginery, a site that I love... if you have time take a look to the gallery... it is worthy because there is people surfing much better than me and, overall, they are surfing knowing what they are doing.
What I exactly do is... take a surface at random... and then I modify the parameters adding numbers which I know but without any mathematical sense... like telephone number of my neighbour, date of birth of my cousin... and I watch what happens... tonight I took a sextic: a crixxi (beautiful name isn't it?) and changed it using my birthday date and my actual age and... I got this ... "stool" I would say... the equation in the title... I think anybody with proper software and a good 3D printer could create it... I can't afford a 3D printer so I do not even know if it would stand... but I liked it a lot!
Surfers are great tools for students and for stressed architects :-) I wish you these days to mind-surf wherever you like!
...ah! And of course... surfer lets you choose the colors!
Note: at Imagery competition is open :-)

There we so many options for this weeks challenge, especially when you start looking at your environment from this specific perspective.
Fire and Light is a glass company in Arcata, CA that specializes in making glassware from recycled glass. We received this lovely piece as a wedding gift. It weighs a ton and makes #2 in our collection, (the other piece was also a wedding gift). I thought it's concentric circles, enhanced by the way it captures light, was perfect for this challenge.

Take a route you're familiar with but have never photographed along and photograph someone or something every 100 or so steps — Vanessa Winship
A trip to Troy to pay the cable bill ended up leading to an encounter with a surprise visitor, in the form of track geometry train W001-13. Conspicuously absent is GP40-2 6025 which had been a fixture on this train for over a decade. Not that I'm complaining; SD50 8642 looks pretty nice up front.
