I think of Polaroid as a beautiful art form. There is no other type of photography that gives such instant happiness. I've had Polaroid cameras in my family my whole life and hearing that whirring zipping out of the camera has always given me such joy.
You click..it whirrs and then zips, you pull out the polaroid and wait while it transforms before your eyes.
And the photographs themselves are beautiful and dreamlike. Unlike any other film out there.
This love, this passion, is being taken away from so many die hard fans, lovers and artists.
If only there were a billionaire out there who loved this gorgeous art form as much as all we do...
We love you, Polaroid

I'm not sure what to say about the line of girls and women waiting in line to take selfies with the "Broadway Bull" in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, NYC.
On occasion, I've had a dog notice me while I'm taking a picture while the owner's attention is elsewhere. This seems like the opposite. The owner appears to be staring at me, while his Westie is looking to the side.
Skating rink and stadium, very dark inside and huge.
The Selfie Tour. On Belgium derps with Dursty, Pezar and Martin. Many selfies, lots of cool locations. Good times.

Note: I chose this photo, among the five that I uploaded to Flickr on the morning of Mar 9, 2012, as my "photo of the day." I don't know what was going on here, but it seemed like a very complex choreograph of activities on the part of the three girls...
Note: this photo was published in a March 9, 2012 issue of Everyblock NYC zipcodes blog titled "10025."
**************************
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...
