rainy flatiron building – no souls taken
coming into work today, in a cab because i’m lazy and it’s rainy and i’ve accepted the indulgence on the weekend.
have been taking loads of pictures lately — with happy results.
i like the convenience and random casualness, as well as the lo-fi quality of my cell phone.
the camera on the phone doesn’t provide great resolution but these pictures came out with nice color and greater amounts of foreground and background focus than expected — actually quite shockingly good considering it’s my Sidekick 2008 gekko i’m using.
this is the iconic Flatiron Building at 23rd and Fifth Avenue.
the rain was on the taxicab window, which i was shooting through.
i have realized recently that i manage to take so many pictures of new york city that are empty of people. i tend to crop the people out, or shoot up a bit. i think some of it is self-protective, trying not to piss people off by taking their pictures without permission. and also i don’t want to intrude on their daily lives. take their souls via photograph.
project to be continued
