Fortunately sun was behind the building so I was able to photograph the sign without it being backlit.
That's all of my New York photos for now… I still have a few – hundreds – to look through, but parade photos are rarely very promising. So it's entirely possible that I won't have any more photos of NYC for several months. That would make it around the two-year anniversary of my first time photographing the Flatiron building.
The afternoon on the boardwalk.
I had thought that my camera choice for next years' trip was already settled, but after seeing how many photos I like from just fifty exposures from my little rangefinder, the decision isn't quite so easy.
My little film Olympus XA does have a light leak, but that's actually the blur of someone walking past.
And for the record, there is such a thing as too much pastrami.
I'd like to say that Arial is an over-rated font, but it's really not. It is tremendously over-used, though.
Plastic is forever, but it's still odd to see it show such signs of wear.
I've recently been getting familiar with a new short macro lens, and taking my F5 and a roll of black and white film for a walk is part of that process. And the benefit of living so close to the University of Toronto is that there are many interesting signs to photograph, and since I've been doing this for a while, I get to try to find new ways to see them.
I'm not inherently a fan of monochrome images, but after spending an entire afternoon trying to scan and post-process just two colour photos, it certainly has its appeal.
