Fifty Favorites, Number Forty

20 February '12 -- The reflections in a Starbucks window create a surrealistic effect in this collage/montage shot.

Fifty Favorites, Number Thirty-One

8 January '11 -- I was driving without a passenger in the cab on a side street in the Upper East Side when I noticed in my peripheral vision these two girls sitting behind a translucent window in a restaurant. The basic skill in street photography is simply the ability to recognize a shot when it shows up.  What you're supposed to do is immediately pull out your camera and shoot.  However, in this instance I was in moving traffic on a narrow street with cars right behind me, so I couldn't stop nor could I pull over.  So what I did was I flipped on my "off-duty" light and drove around the block, hoping they'd still be there.  They were, and I got the shot.

Fifty Favorites, Number Twenty-Nine

2 December '10 -- An abstraction shot using the rain on my windshield to give a Crown Vic a different look.

Fifty Favorites, Number Two

9 Dec '06.  Some shots, due to reflections or peculiar arrangements, appear montage-like.  I took this shot through the window of a liquor shop while stuck in traffic on the Upper East Side.  Somehow the man inside, who looks like he's superimposed on the picture, made eye contact with me as I took the shot.
