This image was taken in Times Square, New York.  There was some sort of bicycle brigade going on and this group leader kindly stopped these cyclists to let this man cross the street with his young daughter.

Fuji X100T and WCL-X100 Lens – 1/1250 @ f/5.6 – ISO 200

With fresh water becoming more scarce, droughts in the western portion of the USA and lead poisoning in Flint Michigan because of the Governor wanting to save money, water is  “The New Gold” !

Fuji X-T1 and XF 10-24mm R OIS Lens – Time Exposure – 20 Seconds @ f/20
Lee Big Stopper ND Filter – 11.5mm Focal Length

By installing a circular polarizer on the lens before mounting the Lee Seven5 filter system I was able to eliminate the glare on the water so the shadows from the rocks were visible.

Fuji X-T1 and XF 27mm f/2.8 Pancake lens – 1/20 @ f/4.0 – ISO 3200

When I was a child and dragged dirt into the house after a rough day of playing outdoors my mom would always ask me “Were you brought up in a barn ?”  I’m starting to think those words had some sort of impact on me because I find barns so hard to resist 🙂
