Note: I chose this photo, among the five that I uploaded to Flickr on the morning of Mar 30,2012, as my "photo of the day." I could not take my eyes off the giant sneakers the young woman was wearing. Unfortunately, the photo doesn't really show the rather bizarre tights that she was also wearing...

**************************
This is the continuation of a photo-project that I began in the summer of 2008 (which you can see in this Flickr set), and continued throughout 2009, 2010, and 2011 (as shown in this Flickr set, this Flickr set, and this Flickr set): a random collection of "interesting" people in a broad stretch of the Upper West Side of Manhattan -- between 72nd Street and 104th Street, especially along Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue. These are the people in my neighborhood, aka "peeps in the 'hood."
As I indicated when I first started this project nearly four years ago, I don't like to intrude on people's privacy, so I normally use a zoom telephoto lens in order to photograph them while they're still 50-100 feet away from me; but that means I have to continue focusing my attention on the people and activities half a block away, rather than on what's right in front of me. Sometimes I find an empty bench on a busy street corner, and just sit quietly for an hour, watching people hustling past on the other side of the street; they're almost always so busy listening to their iPod, or talking on their cellphone, or daydreaming about something, that they never look up and see me aiming my camera in their direction.
I've also learned that, in many cases, the opportunities for an interesting picture are very fleeting -- literally a matter of a couple of seconds, before the person(s) in question move on, turn away, or stop doing whatever was interesting. So I've learned to keep my camera switched on, and not worry so much about zooming in for a perfectly-framed picture ... after all, once the digital image is uploaded to my computer, it's pretty trivial to crop out the parts unrelated to the main subject. Indeed, some of my most interesting photos have been so-called "hip shots," where I don't even bother to raise the camera up to my eye; I just keep the zoom lens set to the maximum wide-angle aperture, point in the general direction of the subject, and take several shots. As long as I can keep the shutter speed fairly high (which sometimes requires a fairly high ISO setting), I can usually get some fairly crisp shots -- even if the subject is walking in one direction, and I'm walking in the other direction, while I'm snapping the photos.
With only a few exceptions, I've generally avoided photographing bums, drunks, crazies, and homeless people. There are plenty of them around, and they would certainly create some dramatic pictures; but they generally don't want to be photographed, and I don't want to feel like I'm taking advantage of them. There have been a few opportunities to take some "sympathetic" pictures of such people, which might inspire others to reach out and help them. This is one example, and here is another example.
The other thing I've noticed, while carrying on this project for the past four years, is that while there are lots of interesting people to photograph, there are far, far, far more people who are not so interesting. They're probably fine people, and they might even be more interesting than the ones I've photographed ... unfortunately, there was just nothing memorable about them. They're all part of this big, crowded city; but for better or worse, there are an awful lot that you won't see in these Flickr sets of mine...
Its the twilight I suppose,
I see that painting there,
A tune floats across - Piano Man he played,
Tip my hat, say hello and on my way I go.
Chanced upon him after stepping out from work, disappointed that I didn't get my perfect shot of a London Eye capsule against the setting sun. Later in the evening I chanced upon this software which allows one to add a retro feel to a shot. And this is the output which I wanted. Just the way I had visualised it.
The original is in the comments section. Which one you think is better?
August 2016 Photo Challenge
August 12 - Longest Trip (Time Wise)
In December 1986 I was in my third semester at Central Michigan University & failing miserably. I grew up rather sheltered (& I was shy, too). I had never dated, was a bit socially awkward, I had never lived away from home and I had never been around alcohol. High School had been quite easy for me so I had no idea how to study on my own either. All this left me ill equipped to deal with life at a major university many miles from everyone I knew. Don't get me wrong, I accept responsibility for failing- I should have gotten help when I realized I was in over my head. I wasn't a total waste though- I did get quite an education about life!
Anyway, my Aunt Pat & Uncle Duane (step-actually) knew that I needed to get away for awhile to clear my head & decide what to do next so they sent me a plane ticket to spend 15 days with them at their house just outside the tiny town of Argyle, Texas. I got on the plane in Grand Rapids in the middle of a blizzard and got off in Dallas to sunny 75 degree weather. It was exactly what I needed! I had a great time & got some great advice, too!
I no longer have the original, nor do I know who the author was, but I took a photo of this note because it just seemed so authentic!
Hooray! Blue arrived today. After denying myself so many purchases, a pack of three notebooks is really splashing out! Also, husband cracked a laugh over the "Band of Rubber" included. I love the clicky ballpoint pens that come with these, but secretly not a fan of the pencil other than as a desk accessory. Nevermind. I had to amend this because I just sharpened one up, and the lead was much softer than I remembered. Just about perfect in fact, but I still love the Rhodias - their orange and black color scheme look smashing with Field Notes.
I am just going to go ahead and get this out of the way. Bireos’s bow-axe is functional. It uses a spring trigger mechanism to shoot a bolt.
*****
Backstory:
(Note: This references the backstories of my previous MOCs, Diaa, Ceth, and Ahi.)
A skilled huntsman and master of many weapons, Bireos is a battle-worn mercenary. In his youth, Bireos was hired by the Predecessors to hunt down and eliminate the leaders of the Conduit race in the Predecessor-Conduit war. Although he had no elemental abilities, Bireos was surprisingly successful. Although the war ended when the Conduits fled Okoto, Bireos still roams Okoto’s wilderness in search of Ahi, Bireos’s one charge that succeeded in eluding him. Bireos has grown old over the eons, but he is still as skilled and unrelenting as ever.
*****
Info:
Bireos is incredibly strong and cunning, preferring to attack from afar rather than engaging his opponents in short range combat. Bireos uses his crossbow in combination with his Kanohi Huna to strike unseen from a distance. When needed, he can switch from firing charged bolts to using his bow-axe’s axe form. He can also use his energized broadsword to battle in close quarters. With his versatile weaponry, powerful mask, immense strength, propensity for strategy, and unrelenting commitment to the hunt, Bireos is truly an opponent to be feared.

Blue Note 1951
Review by Rick Anderson
On the second volume in this two-disc series Thelonious Monk has come fully into his own as a leader. The program consists almost entirely of original compositions, and in fact it opens with two of his most difficult: "Four in One" (with its conventional bop intro that leads into a bizarre, repeated five-against-two quintuplet sequence) and the forbiddingly abstract "Criss Cross." Get through those and you'll eventually be rewarded with the relatively straightforward, blues-based "Straight No Chaser" and the sweet ballad "Ask Me Now," among other treats. Sidemen include the young trumpeter Kenny Dorham and bassist Al McKibbon, as well as a more clued-in Art Blakey and (replacing Blakey on half of the program) Max Roach. Sahib Shihab's sax tone is more appropriate this time out, and the production quality is somewhat better. This disc, along with Volume 1, belongs in every jazz collection. [The CD reissue includes numerous alternate takes and features a chronological song order; thus, its program is very different from that of the LP that it duplicates in the catalog. The same is true of Volume 1.]
