Contrasts

There are times when a photo must be sharp, perfectly on focus, while other times it is the message that it carries that must be perfectly focussed.
I loved the scene when it started developing in front of my eyes: the two womaen chatting, the man passing by, the contrast of light and darkness, the film banner with the writing "Brother"... I like all these contrasts and in the moment I was able to bring my camera to my eye, the moment happened and the guy turned to look: on focus on not I had to take that moment... and I like it!

New York Bravest

Every time I see them some very well known images are vividly present in my mind, every time I see their outfit I cannot avoid remembering them during the 9/11 images coming from New York, and the same happened when I saw them few yards from me.
They are known as "New York Bravest".

I wonder for how long their presence will recall....

The Artist

I don't really know why I have the impression that this man is an artist. Maybe it us because of the way he is dressed, maybe it is because of his bag, or maybe it is just an impression and nothing else. Maybe it is the truth, who knows?
In our wandering around New York we were quite impressed by how the people responded to having our lenses pointed towards them. I don't think this man saw me, but generally the response is much less scared than in London. People seems to see cameras not like dangerous instruments of threat. Few people, when they saw we were photographing them, dodged the shot, but this is something I expected, what I did not expect, however, was the many smily, pleasantly patient faces. This is highly rewarding as street photographer.
So, what do you think? Is he an artist?
I like to think so, I like to think that in that bag there is something beautiful painted with those hands... and btw, I wore a hat very similar to his own that day! :)

The Big America

There are many things that hit me in the US, and for a while I will write about it as I am still deep into what we found in New York. I am writing something about the people we met there, but still I am not happy about what I have until now, so I will take some more time to dig into my words before publishing them. Meanwhile I wanted to show things that I usually don't capture with my camera, and not only because in the UK I would be shot on sight if I had taken a photo of a train station...

NYC

New York, for our first visit, left in our souls something deep, something I would have never expected. Everything started with a very strange feeling when we landed and we moved into the Big Apple: the feeling of being at home. Obviously it was not logical, it was not something reasonable, but it was what Fabiana and I felt when we walked for the first time in New York. There are so many thoughts, so many things I would like to say about this short break in America, that I feel only a tiny part will end up in these words, but it is not hard to know where to start: people.
When we planned this short break in New York few months ago, I kept in touch with a good contact on Flickr, a contact whom I had promised we would have met one day. Knowing I would have been in the USA I tempted him to join us in New York, and we were lucky he could. Fabiana and I met a very kind person and his wife, two people that gave us, in few hours, much more than we had ever expected. I know he is going to read these words and I would like to thank him once more for the attitude, the words and everything they gifted us: it was simply fantastic. Thanks!
I can really say that he is not a simple "contact" any longer right now.
Life in NY is so much different from the one in London and so similar at the same time... People are warmer, more "easy going" if you allow me to say so still the city gave us an incredible vibe, the idea of energy, passion, freedom. In the coming days I will post some photos from this trip!

BTW: I uploaded the WRONG version before, this is the edited one! :P
