Brooklyn

This picture it's all about texture and light. I like it. Reflects well what this neighborhood it's all about. I loved Brooklyn.

Can't wait to go back to NYC. After Photokina announcements, I'm longing for a new Canon G10... and a 5D Mark II (plus cool Zeiss lenses) too. I won't miss B&H this time!

Half Moon over Manhattan

Nobody is sleeping in the sky. Nobody, nobody.

Nobody is sleeping.

If someone does close his eyes,

a whip, boys, a whip!

Let there be a landscape of open eyes

and bitter wounds on fire.

No one is sleeping in this world. No one, no one.

I have said it before.

No one is sleeping.

But if someone grows too much moss on his temples during the night,

open the stage trapdoors so he can see in the moonlight

the lying goblets, and the poison, and the skull of the theaters.

Federico Garcia Lorca, 1929

A fragment of "City That Does Not Sleep"

(from the poem book "Poet in New York")

Tribeca Sunset

This is Tribeca at sunset. One of those NYC sunsets in which the light has to play hide and seek with the walls of the skyscrapers to finally win a spot in the pictures.

I had created an image of the place before I ever got there. I had Tribeca linked to Scorsese, to images of Ranging Bulls, of course to De Niro who once even said “I’m Tribeca” and for some reason to Edward Hooper (even if he was a Village resident).

Reflections

One from the New York series. Need to go back soon because I missed B&H this last time...

But first I'll wait to see what Photokina brings us this year :)

NYC

A very simple composition. I guess I just like the way the light reflects on the window, and the contrast between the bricks and the deep blue sky. Somehow most of my NYC pictures ended up been building details and light reflections.

I fell in love with NYC, can't wait to go back.

Central Park

I love city parks. When I lived in London I used to walk through Hyde Park everyday to get to work... I was in NYC last month for the 1st time and couldn't but love Central Park. A secluded paradise within the city.

Not an spectacular picture, but one that reflects the charm of the place. As with all my pictures, no crop or post-processing was applied. Just a pure and unadulterated *.jpeg straight from the camera.
