This is about the closest I can get to going inside one of these abandoned buildings. This was shot through a broken window at Kings Park Psychiatric Facility on Long Island, New York.

Fujifilm X-T1 and Fujinon XF 35mm f/1.4 R Lens – 1/250 @ f/2.8
This is a photo of an old Oyster processing plant on the South Shore of Long Island. Look at the pile of shucked oysters on the work table. The shores around Long Island were so rich in oysters that crushed oyster shells were actually used for landfill in some parts of Manhattan (as mentioned in the movie “The Bone Collector”). I loved the way the light was beaming in through the skylights in the roof rafters.
Jean H. Herskovits is featured in our fifth installment of our guest post series. Jean uses a Nikon D90 camera and also is an avid user of his mobile phone a Samsung Galaxy S1 for images.
My name is Jean and I was born in Bucharest, Romania. In 1969 my family moved from Romania to Paris, France when I was six years old..
I still speak Romanian and have recently spent six years in Bucharest as an expat, from 2004 to 2010. You can say I have two cultures, but the French one is predominant.
I bought my first camera which was a second-hand Olympus OM-1 with my first wages from a summer job, in 1985 or 86, and started shooting regularly.
If you are from a generation old enough to remember these silver paper times, you will probably also remember that B&W was way cheaper than color photography. So that’s how I started.
In my opinion, beauty in photography (as in all graphic arts) has to do with balance. Balance between shapes, colors, shadows, light and dark areas… Sometimes beauty comes from the deliberate absence of balance, but even then, balance is the keyword.
To me, the following picture has quite a good balance of shades and shapes.
I call it “Dim Swing”

Nikon D610 and Tamron 90mm Di SP Macro Lens – 1/250 @ f/7.1 – ISO 200
I wanted to show the detailed texture of these fern leaves so I decided to use the full frame sensor on the Nikon D610 to maximize the detail in the shadow areas. Please note although the aperture is set to f/7.1 the depth of field is still very shallow when using any sort of macro or close up lens combined with a full frame sensor. Just a little tip to keep in mind for when you go out and shoot macro.

Nikon D200 and 50mm AF-S f/1.8 Lens – 1/5000 @ f/2.2 – ISO 100
On this particular day I was doing my walk around with a little different camera than I normally would use. This time I had an old Nikon D200 that already had 185,000 shutter actuations on it and a 50mm 1.8 lens. I guess you could say it was well broken in.
I had approached Devin and was talking to him about that great hat he was wearing as a way to break the ice and start a conversation with him. I finally felt comfortable enough and asked him if he wouldn’t mind if I took a street portrait of him and he gladly said “sure”.
Sometimes people agree to a photograph after having a conversation with them and making them feel at ease.
