of all the refelction-self-portrait, this is my favourite one, where did you take it?

Susan NYC says:

I took this at work - I was standing inside, looking out the window facing east, right after the rainstorm. I often shoot through windows by putting the camera right against the glass, but I've been on my reflection thing recently, so I stood back a little to get this.

Excellent Susan! I'm admittedly biased more towards less "pure street" photography work, but that said this still works wonderfully. The bokeh is smooth and just spot on, and you've got great tonal range here.

Susan NYC says:

Thanks, all. This is a wonderful camera, indeed. Litherland, I'll use your set name for the set - thanks! Nick, I'll still experiment with nice neat abstract stuff, but messy street stuff is What I'm stuck on for at lesat a while more, I think.

nschaden says:

Yes Susan, do stay on the street, it certainly is your forte and it's good you're developing more into it. I'm starting to feel more and more, with the limited time we have, in many ways its better to "settle down" into a few more select types of photography earlier rather than later, at least for some people, from my own experience.

Susan NYC says:

I'm too young (in photography) to "settle down! I experiment - and I even got a flash that I'm trying to figure out today how to use - so I can take other kinds of pictures...and I'm getting a second lens that'll let me take yet other kinds of pictures...but I think "messy" is my style...

Trish Mayo says:

Great shot - I like the way the building gives a sense of converging lines right into the camera.

thanks....these reflection shots aren't necessarily obvious - they're really trial and error and you see what comes out on the computer

I love that section of New York. It's sort of like the last ungentrified area of Manhattan. Walk down 28th b/w 6 - 8th to see what I'm talking about.

This is flippin fantastic. So do you love your Leica?
Posted 25 months ago. ( permalink )

Susan NYC says:

Thanks, Jean....yes, indeed. I love it love it. I wear it around my neck nearly always. It's a different way of shooting (gotta focus), so I'm still getting used to it...........
Posted 25 months ago. ( permalink )

Jean Albus says:

You should probably have it embedded onto your body for the price o' that little jewel. Wow. I want one.
Posted 25 months ago. ( permalink )

Susan NYC says:

It might as well be embedded...I really don't take it off unless it's late and I'm walking alone on dark streets

Actually Susan I think you need to keep this camera, I am impressed by your tenacity and your relentless photo taking, most days it seems you are out there with your Leica. Which makes me think you deserve each other..... Bravo.
Posted 20 months ago. ( permalink )

Susan NYC says:

Thanks all...I wouldn't think of not keeping this camera...the problem is that right now it's in the repair shop, so I'm using my old point-and-shoot...I may have my M8 back tomorrow. I go through severe withdrawal when I don't have it.
