Photographs and thoughts on photography and camera collecting
I was returning home from one of my walks, when this woman rushed by me, dragging her suitcase behind her. I was struck by her lovely bright red hair, but she was moving so quickly that I was unable to get my camera up quickly enough to take a photograph.
Eventually the train reached my station and as I got up to leave, I saw her sitting on the floor engrossed in her phone.

In my last post I mentioned that I was expecting someone from ConEd to come this morning to inspect my gas meter.
The person in question came around 9:50am, inspected the meter and installed a remote gas detector. Except it wasn’t a “gasman”. Rather she was a very pleasant young “gaswoman” called Jasmine (the same name as my younger daughter).
I was fascinated by her pink hair and asked her if I could take a couple of pictures. She kindly agreed.

And that was about it. I met Alexander at the Wheeltapper Pub in the Fitzpatrick Hotel where we had an early dinner and a few beers. I didn’t take any pictures because: I already had some from previous visits; it was a bit dark; and I was more focused on eating and drinking than I was taking pictures.
After that we walked to Grand Central Terminal where I took this picture. Then we went our separate ways.
All in all, a very pleasant day.

I was up by the sculpture in the previous post, when I looked down and spotted people walking along the walkway that I’d just taken. While I often get down low to take a picture, I don’t often take pictures from on high. So, this was a bit of a change for me. I just wish that the woman with the dog had been a little more to the left. I don’t like the way that she intersects with the pole. Otherwise, I quite like the composition.

It is what it is: two men on a barge beside the East River. I thought it made an interesting photograph. I guess I liked the bright colors of the cables in the background and the graffiti.
