Indeed, nicely executed too, the sound track integration was excellent.

the links all go to the first shot, so I don't know which pictures you mean.
The first one looks like Bill Robb. And a bull dog. I'll tell you what,
although I strongly agree with dog owners picking up their beastly residue,
it revolts me even to think about it, so that first shot turns my stomach.

I will.

Oy

ahh  right I couldnt isolate the shots ...

THe shot that was the clue was seeing just a bull dog and human legs in 
high heels ...
I couldnt make out what was happening in the middle... I thought she was 
carrying an umbrella...
when I looked at it all I saw were feet just think feet, dog..  I 
didn't even realise what was going on there.  

The shot of the _person_  is the man emerging from the subway at 116th 
street he should look familiar to you...


the shot I said I liked so much was of the Chrisler building and the 
PARK sign...


which was, I believe, taken from the vantage point of the entrance to 
the office building where I worked in the

70's...


so, come visit!

ann
   



I will.

Bob
 



Goodie!

hardly needs mentioning! She's actually very elegant. Pity about what she's
doing. And that's a cobbled street - is that common in NYC?

of course

yes, I like that shot too. I think he's done a great job of the whole
series, not just the portraits. It's obviously NYC without being postcardy
cliché. Lovely blacks & whites.

if I can I'll try and get a long weekend over there next year. My new job
has a 6-month (yah, boo, sucks!) probationary period so I won't be able to
take much time off in the beginning. I also get less holiday than in my
previous job - 25 rather than 30 days, so I want to see if I can buy more
holiday off them, which is quite a common benefit over here.

Familiar, but I can't place him.

Fits in rather well with this semester's classes. I've got multi-media 
and am beginning work on audio slide-shows.

Familiar, but I can't place him.

   



He's Professor of History at Columbia - surely everyone recognises him!


 



Larry- I found out from Bob who this is  ---  he looks, to me, very much 
like Elliott Erwitt and given the
photo of the bulldoggie and owner was part of this, I was even more 
convinced...seeing Bell's photo as
a kind of wry homage to EE..  

I meant he should look familiar to Bob .. not everyone, btw... but , 
since he looked familiar to me and

I had it wrong... welll.. what can I say..?

I hadn't though that ALL the people in the slideshow were part of the 
Brits in NY aspect


The photo of the Christler building and the PARK sign  was , in fact, 
taken in front of the building I
worked in back in the 70's when I was in Mkt Research doing computer 
stuff.  It was a great company,
more like a family than a cubical cell world - was there until the 
Spring of 1981...  ah, memories..
