West Headford Cycle Race

Shooting in the rain is miserable. It was hard on everyone; Cyclist, feeders, spectators, directors.

I went down the shore last weekend with my family and my mom's friend and his kids. We had great weather. I brought my mom's nikon coolpix point and shoot and got some good shots of my mom's friend's family. Although I was reminded why auto-mode drives me nuts.

Narrative on the Highline NYC

My narrative; The perfect day for shooting on the Highline NYC is ruined by rain. It is slightly autobiographical. I always aim to shoot provocative and creative images when I am at places commonly photographed. I find places that are highly covered more difficult to shoot, I know there is a surplus of stock images online stronger than mine if I shoot the expected. My original idea was to shoot photographers; amateur, hobbyists, and professionals, who were photographing the Highline and what their images might be. About 30-45 minutes after I arrived there was a sun-shower starting and I decided to keep shooting. I like the way it turned out. It's more sequential than my original idea, and it forced me to improve my skills with the fourth dimension; time. Also all the umbrellas in the city popping up remind me of desert flowers blooming in the rain.
