Re: PESO old and new
Your “target branch” is very nice—the lighting and detail work well. I agree that the bokeh in the background needs to be blurrier so as not to be distracting. Maybe not f/2.8; maybe f/4. I’m also not fond of that big black branch (BBB) cutting across the top of the frame. If you can use a fill flash without reducing the dramatic backlighting of the main leaves, that would be good. You might have enough depth in the RAW file to bring up the BBB with Lightroom or Photoshop. It would be a very nice shot if you could.

I'm happy the Polish deli has survived, and that my news-stand guys are ones that have been there for at least 10 years. We haven't been there since 2003, but I just read on Yelp that it still exists and seems to be doing well. The owner is very nice and friendly.

Some brick building do not look very old, some - do.. To me, - even in reality, Carl Fischer looks like it may have been built anywhere between 30s and 50s. The new glass building was built after I left NY, so 4-5 years is about right. I just found that Astor Wines has moved to a new place, a few blocks south: 399 Lafayette (at East 4th St.) New York, NY 10003 We used to live on Washinton Pl., just a block away from Washington Sq. (I used to say that my address was NY, NY, NY) Too bad I didn't know you then - as I may have seen you on the street. We liked a small neighborhood-type sushi restaurant right where you live: Ginger on 1st ave, - just south of 7th street. We haven't been there since 2003, but I just read on Yelp that it still exists and seems to be doing well. The owner is very nice and friendly. We were among his first clients and he might still remember us. It reminds me that we haven't been to NYC for long time.
