Hi! I've been to "The Big Apple", but did not take that ferry ride, so thanks for letting me it through your eyes... I lived there for 16 years and had never taken that ferry ride. It took coming back as a tourist to see the statue of liberty, *and* a broadway show. Go figure :o) No, I am not going back to Moscow, no I am not going back to Moscow :-)... Though having lived there for 20 years ;-) I haven't seen all there is to see...

Re: GESO: shots in New York
Hi! I just finished compiling some snapshots from a day-trip to NYC. Here are a few snapshots I managed from atop a moving tour bus, and on the ferry to ellis & liberty islands. http://www.exposedfilm.net/journal/05jun/index.htm Nothing worth writing home about. Just some snaps to remember the trip by (I never manage much more whenever I travel with the missus)... but snapshots of NY are always fun. Always crazy to see how obsurdly crowded Manhattan can be on any given Saturday. Jerome, I think that "The Taxi Exchange" is not "your common snapshot". I think it is rather excellent photograph. And then of course, I've been to "The Big Apple", but did not take that ferry ride, so thanks for letting me it through your eyes... Manhattan is never not-crowded, is it? Boris

Thanks for letting me know about your troubles. The last time that I used the same template to make a gallery, Mark Roberts also mentioned not being able to access it. I think it's the javascripts. I wonder how many others couldn't access the webpage. > well done! Thanks. I love walking thru midtown these days. I almost never did it when I lived there... I guess because back then I actually had someplace to go and it was more of a nuisance than anything else... but I find I can tolerate it more as a tourist. Nice break from the (new) norm. Anyhow, thanks again for your feedback. Best regards, - Jerome

Great stuff, Jerome! This gives me a taste of what next weekend might be like, I guess .

Hi Jerome, Enjoyed your image gallery from NY. Being from the country it is interesting to see some views from the "other side". Nice place to visit, don't think I would want to live there. Congratulations to Cynthia. Charles

Kostas, > (I must have a Maths degree somewhere in my parents' house; > certainly not in my head anymore...) I know the feeling. Actually, of 4 degrees, only one of mine is actually in Math (the others are engineering)... Ditto for the missus, another engineer by training.

Re: GESO: shots in New York
Paul, > Some terrific shots here. You have a very > refined sense of composition. Nah... just a very refined sense of post-production cropping . My motto for that trip was: If you shoot it wide enough, you might be able to crop *something* decent out of it . I think I've been doing that a bit too much lately... (did it on my DC trip, too) but I will say that in the long run it's helping me figure out what is and isn't a decent composition. > I love the Times Square/Little Brazil street signs.

I guess we are part of the "mutual admiration club", as I've *thoroughly* enjoyed your website/photography of late. The first one you listed is actually my favorite as well. The taxi exchange is just "so New York", so it was fun to capture it. For that snapshot, I think all the elements (bright yellow cab, blurred people, and cell phone guy) just came together quite nicely. Lucky me. Thanks again.

Re: GESO: shots in New York
Some terrific shots here. You have a very refined sense of composition. I love the Times Square/Little Brazil street signs. Also the line at TKTS with the Empire State Building in the background. The shot looking down at the cab in the street. Lots of very good work. Makes me homesick for the big city. Thanks for sharing. Paul > I just finished compiling some snapshots from a day-trip to NYC.
