With less than two weeks until Election Day in the US, I was forced to search through my archives to find a photo suitable for conversion to B&W. It also seemed appropriate, as this is the two year anniversary of the bike wreck that occurred the day after I took this shot.
What a wild ride the last two years have been!
New York City is known for Broadway, but a new tourist attraction brings theatre to the streets!
Walking down 7th Avenue, just south of Central Park, I managed to catch two musicians serenading the tourists on this spectacular bus. “The Ride” is a theatrical tour of Times Square and midtown Manhattan. Riders on these multi-million dollar buses, in stadium seats that face outwards, have no idea who on the streets are part of the tour. From the website: “THE RIDE is a one-of-a-kind interactive entertainment experience where the streets of New York City are the stage, and you’ve got front row seats!” For a theatre lover like me, this seems like a fantastic way to see New York City landmarks in a whole new way!

Wondering what are their stories…
One of my favourite things to shoot is movement. Panning shots are something I have been practice for ages…. Tying out different technics etc. This was shot 1/15 of a sec on a Canon 7d MK2.
Lately I’m getting away from my usual way of taking photographs. I am interested in exploring movement and blur, away from reality and closer to abstraction. This theme I have developed in color, as you can see in my blog, but I am also interested to work it in black and white.
