A Sort of 'London-ish' Day

Been taking a lot of walks lately and today's stood out quite a bit. Not only was I displeased to find that the weather had taken a dive a bit, returning to it's former cold, wet former self, but the light was as flat as it could be.  It was a very 'London-ish' day in my opinion. The sun was being triply diffused through thick translucent layers of clouds. So, my challenge was to see how I could take such seemingly dull and uninteresting light and create some decent images.  The result: several images who's color stands out (as it tends to on most overcast days) but ultimately have a cold, 'hyper clean' feel to them. It was surprisingly enjoyable to walk around even with the weather being so sup-par.  During a second round walk to my friend Wyeth's apartment I stumbled upon yet another local NYC nuclear fallout shelter. What luck!

-Hope you enjoy these.

Sincerely,


-S.

A Quick 20 Minute Jog-n-Shoot

Ever watch that movie Yes Man (2008)? Well in the movie Zoey Deschannel hosts this odd fusion activity that involves taking pictures while jogging.  I didn't plan on it but I left to run some errands and saw that the quality of light was stunning. This was around oh, seven o clock and it didn't look like the light was going to last too much longer so I ran back inside, picked up my trusty ol' camera and yep, you guessed it, started to jog around. I only covered a single lap of about 2 city blocks but due to the lighting a poor quality image could not have been taken.
Here are the results of my 20 minute jog-shoot

As you may have noticed there is a second NYC Fallout Shelter image. I'm thinking of making this an ongoing series simply cause I find it interesting that I've lived here only 2 years now and not once noticed either of these fallout shelters and they're both quite near where I live. Anyway, thank you all for your continued time and attention.

Sincerely,

P.S. If any of you are at all interested in purchasing any of the images you see feel free to contact me at SRS2Photo@Gmail.com.  Due to some occasional outstanding circumstances not all images seen are able to be sold but I do try and display those that can be.
