BACK AGAIN

 

Returning once again to my home town, this time with Mrs. C and granddaughter Ellie. This is one of the many entrances to the Times Square subway station. Ellie liked the subway but not being out on these streets. She said it felt crowded, loud, confusing and a little scary. Welcome to New  York, kid.          

NYC - REVIEW AND PREVIEW

 

The family arrives in New York this afternoon and Ellie is pumped. This is a picture I took two years ago at the observation floor of The Summit, one of  the city’s newer mega-tall towers, this one next to Grand Central Station. The special thing is that the walls, floors and ceilings are all mirrored.  You have to wear special booties over your shoes so you don’t scratch the floor. We are booked for a visit on Monday.          

FINAL NOTES

 

A last image of the members of Moon Valley who performed at the opening of 3rd Space. The TinType app makes for interesting images. New York tomorrow.                                

BACKLIGHTING

 

We’ll be a little low on material until we get to New York on Saturday but this will do for now.          

A MAN WITH A HORN

Moon Valley has at least six members who can perform in smaller groups. There were three playing on Sunday evening. I think this is Ryan Bouma, but those involved should correct me if I’m wrong.

The photo technique here is an iPhone camera app called TinType, that replicates old fuzzy images that were printed on small metal plates. Fun, and cheap - US$ 1.
