Nikon Coolpix A – 1/30 @ f/2.8 – ISO 180

Back in the day if you got caught talking in the library you were shushed.  Now nobody talks to each other anyway they just text and instant message.  I wonder what has become of the poor shushing lady ?  Taken in the New York City Public Library.

bedtime story-

This evening, I sat by an open window
and read till the light was gone and the book
was no more than a part of the darkness.
I could easily have switched on a lamp,
but I wanted to ride this day down into night,
to sit alone and smooth the unreadable page
with the pale gray ghost of my hand.

Times Square food vendorTimes Square, 11:00 PM

Oh, how I waited to get this shot. Waited for the vendor to be visible despite the enveloping steam from his food truck. Waited for the scrolling messages on his electronic sign to display my favorite one. Many times I had one, but not the other. The magic was in capturing the two together.
