One of the rare non-Apple laptops seen in an otherwise cool park full of cool people
Late in the afternoon on the last day in March 2009, I walked into Bryant Park, which is located behind the New York Public Library, between 41st and 42nd Street, facing Avenue of the Americas. There were several people reading and basking in the sun, a couple people typing on their laptop computers, and one chess game underway. I spent about half an hour wandering around to see what looked photo-worthy, and then wandered off to get some dinner...
This woman was typing away on a laptop computer ... alas, it was not an Apple Powerbook. But maybe she doesn't know any better. Just think: if she had been typing on a Mac, her photo probably would have been published a thousand times by now!

Wow... this woman is a dead ringer for my wife. Iced tea, NY, clothes etc. If it was a Mac, it would have been scary!
Ed Yourdon (50 months ago | reply)
Maybe your wife has an evil twin sister that she has never told you about. Maybe the differentiating factor between your wife and her evil twin sister is the choice of Mac versus non-Mac laptop. You just never know... :)

Hehe! I see you are a Mac person, and a Nikon user! That's two strikes against you! (kidding)
Ed Yourdon (47 months ago | reply)
Uh oh ... does that mean you're a Windows user and a Canon fanatic? You've succumbed to the Dark Side!
Actually, I have nothing against Canon cameras; I've got a very nice Canon G10, and a smaller Canon Powershot SD950. But I got my first Nikon F in 1969, and have stuck with them ever since for "serious" cameras...
SJH Foto (47 months ago | reply)
Well, I really am not adamant about it. I use Windows because once I got back into computers (this is only my second computer since my Commodore 64), I learned on Windows and that's what my best friend/business tech guy has. As far as SLRs having all kinds of money and equipment tied into Canon, unless they do something REALLY out there, I am locked in
Now, if you want to talk about cars, I'm a firm believer in Hondas! But again, it's a matter of personal preference. No commandments are broken by buying a Ford, a Nikon or even Linux!

Carmel,
Thanks for letting me know; I'm delighted that the picture served your purposes (though, just for fun, you might try going to my Flickr "home page" at www.flickr.com/yourdon and searching for photos with the keywords "Bryant Park" and "laptop" to see how many other choices you had!).
It never occurred to me that this photo would be so popular when I snapped it; yours is the 11th blog to publish it. At the time, I just thought her hat was interesting, and I was intrigued by the anonymity that it provided for her...

This must be the nicest comment section I have seen on the Internet :)
(no one doing evil.)
The reason your picture is popular I think is its honest, perfect timing (look at the fingers a centimeter from the keyboard) GOOD exposure, she's anonymous unless you know her, she has style and the Ankh around her neck is probably the least polarising religious symbol ever (Ankh = The key of life, symbol for eternal life.)
I kinda resent that she has to be the evil twin because she uses a PC, but greggerca's wife is smiling. :)
(Me: Nikon, PC Windows and Linux.)
Ed Yourdon (38 months ago | reply)
Jim,
Thanks for the kind words.
If the photo does indeed have all of those good characteristics, I think it's more attributable to luck than skill. This one, like most of my photos, was an extemporaneous "street photograph." Because she wasn't actually looking at me, I had a few seconds to frame and compose the shot, it obviously wasn't "posed." And while I tried to get the benefit of the late-afternoon light in the park, I certainly didn't do anything fancy...
As for it being the nicest comment section on the Internet ... well, it's close -- but take a look at the comments and feedback on another extemporaneous street photograph, taken last year while I was watching people walk past me on Central Park West; I've called it The kindness of strangers.
Benn Glazier (38 months ago | reply)
"But maybe she doesn't know any better?"
Don't you think that's a little bit of a silly statement?
Everyone makes a choice for a reason.
Hey... I like BMW's, you like Audi. Canon, Nikon... etc.
Ed Yourdon (38 months ago | reply)
Benn G.,
The comment was intended merely as a light-hearted joke. Nikon fans sometimes poke fun at Canon fans, and vice versa; Mac fans sometimes poke fun at Windows fans, and vice versa.

aslans_child,
Glad you found the photo useful for your blog; as you may have noticed, it was published by another blog on the same date. In any case, you are now indeed part of the "history" of this image ... though it seems that the subject was never aware that she had been photographed (it was just a quick, impromptu "candid" photo in Bryant Park).
Cheers,

P.S. Glad to see you're on a Mac. I think we are no longer the tiny, oppressed minority that we once were ...

Ed Yourdon (29 months ago | reply)
Yes, I did notice that. Sometimes they use the title/caption, and sometimes they include all of the text. I don't mind - I figure that anyone who looks at the text will quickly figure out that it was written by the photographer, i.e., by me.

While Apple’s laptop range is often criticised for its high prices, there’s no denying that it provides the kind of style and usability that few laptops can match. The Apple Macbook (£770 inc. VAT) is the entry-level model and is an impressively portable machine with plenty to offer the home user.

Oh, wow, how incredibly cool!

Virtually every one of them was familiar with Clay Shirky's book on the subject...
