This biker found a nice quiet stretch of road in midtown, that rises above the street below on an elevated road that goes thru the pan-am building...

Alone in the Park:
this guy was in a crowded washington square park, belting out a massacred version of what he was hearing in his headphones. massacred both in tone and in adding a mish-mash of his own words tot he songs. after the quaintness of this citylife moment ended, we had to move, it was a bit annoying

    Nice images ... colors seem odd in number one and the horizon seems a bit tilt-ie to the left. I like the shots ... nice conversion and a good choice on #3.

    yeah the biker is off.

    i only looked at the biker and he looked straight so i blocked out the rest of the shot.

    gonna have to fix it later.

    I really like the biker and the boombox photos. Very urban...one thing thought you might consider fixing the horizon in the biker shot, instantly distracting and easy to fix! keep up the good work...god I miss the city.

    One thing interesting here is the range of opinions on aesthetical matters (not only).
    One likes a photo, the other doesn't.

    Love them!
    You've got an original style in your photographs that I really like. #1 is my favorite, followed by #4. But they are all good. clap.gif

    These almost look like they were taken with film, I though the first one was taken with a Medium Format camera. But the photos are really nice, I'm diggin em.
