Happy accidents
The young woman in this photo is reading a book titled Happy Accidents, by Jane Lynch -- known to many for the "Sue Sylvester" character she has played on the TV show "Glee" for several seasons...
I can't tell what the woman thinks of Ms. Lynch's book. I suppose I should have asked her, but I didn't want to interrupt. Actually, to be honest, I had no interest at all in what she was reading -- I just thought that the arrangement of lines and angles was interesting, and I was also intrigued that she had found an isolated little corner in which to do her reading. So I left her in peace...
If you would like to know more about the book, here's a URL link to the Amazon page:
As for Ms. Lynch, the Internet reliably (?) reports that she attended Cornell University, is 6 feet tall, and was worth $10 million in 2015. I have no idea whether any of that information is accurate or true ...

As I have noted in several earlier Flickr albums, as long as I continue going to the same NYC dentist, you can count on two or three sets of photos of Bryant Park each year. The reason is simple: my dentist is located in mid-town Manhattan, about a block from the park — and when I'm done, I'm always tempted to walk over and see how the park looks. Consequently, I've collected almost a dozen separate sets of Bryant Park photos, which you can see summarized here on Flickr. (At least one or two of those other sets will provide you with the historical details of the park; or you can look it up here on Wikipedia.)
In mid-June of 2015, I took another stroll through the park, not having been there for almost two years. I wandered mostly around the periphery of the park, looking for interesting scenes to capture with the Sony RX-1R camera whose results I'm showing in this album, and also a Sony RX-10 camera whose results you'll see in a separate album in a couple days. I locked the camera into a wide-angle setting and a fixed f/8 aperture, and I just pointed the camera in the general direction of an interesting scene, and pushed the shutter button. Of the several hundred shots that I took during these strolls, there were a handful that seemed worthy of uploading; that's what you'll be seeing in this set and the next one. All of this took roughly an hour, at the end of which I put away my camera, and headed back uptown, content that my teeth would survive for another several months...
