OK, so it’s not really the New York skyline. It’s the New York New York Hotel and Casino skyline in Las Vegas NV.

But it will have to do!

An image captured as she was taking break between shots.  Although we only worked together once, I admired her willingness to endure the cold autumn water temperatures of Lake Superior while posing nude.  Some very beautiful images were created that afternoon.

You know how you can be walking around and catch a part of a conversation that attracts your attention? On a recent meet up with some members of the Monochromia blog we found ourselves waiting in Grand Central Station. I was walking past the information kiosk when those words caught my attention. That’s all I heard, but it was enough to spin me around in search of the source, hoping for a photograph. I saw this and the camera came up long enough to record this image and then everything changed. People stepped in front of me, and by the time I got another look it was all over and the woman at the window was gone. Damn, this street photography business is hard for an old guy like me!

One of those moments in the everyday that come to life when frozen in time. In this case 1/15th of a second. Blink and you would miss it. It’s a contradiction I know but the camera helps us see these magical moments. especially between people deep in conversation. That’s one of the things thats keeps me taking pictures.
