Yellow Bag in Brooklyn

tait — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 17:34:01 +0000

Are you a man or a yellow bag with a phone book inside? I’ve been listening to the new Frightened Rabbit LP a lot lately. It is fantastic and reminds me of my time living in Edinburgh. Anyway, this picture makes me think of the lyrics from Man/Bag of Sand.

When the circus comes to town I get similarly excited.

Manhattan Ave

Here are a couple of images from a recent walk down Manhattan Ave in Greenpoint. I love this street and will often take a walk to visit the bank or post office rather than make the trip into the real Manhattan. There’s always a lot of activity, as anyone familiar with the area will know well, and it still manages to retain a bit of it’s polish roots which gives it a certain charm.

This Could Be Our Joint

I’ve been shooting a lot of reflections lately, like the Hotel Delmano series and Ghost in the Machine. Here’s another much different from those, made in the open door of a bar around the corner. It is never open for business, but the shelves are stocked. Occasionally the doors are flung wide open, the televisions turned to a sporting event, but never a sole inside.

Then there’s fog, one of my all time favorite subjects.

I found this security guy asleep on the job the other day just after stopping to admire this dark and ominous cloud formation heading in my direction.

Palettes

Below are a few new images taken here in the neighborhood at this wood palette recycling center. I’ve never seen so many palettes in one place, and as exciting as that sounds it certainly doesn’t smell nice in July.

Venturo

Here’s a recent image of my good buddy Venturo, looking thick like a body builder. Taken the same day as the Yuengling can below and shot with one of my pride and joy/piece of photographic history cameras: the Leica M6 TTL. After an inspiring conversation with a friend recently about this camera, I decided to break it out again and see what she could do. Needless to say, I’m never disappointed with this camera, and every so often it delivers a piece of magic that i didn’t think was possible. Serendipitously I suppose.

Hotel Delmano

You won’t often find me leaning over to take photographs of flowers, small animals or other such things, but here are a few images from a short series I was working on for a little while called Flowers at the Hotel Delmano. Each time I’d pass it seemed there was a new bouquet in the window and each time the light and scene outside made the same window unique.

On a related note, like past years, I’ll be donating a print to the Ah Haa school in Telluride for their annual fundraising auction. I was thinking about sending one of these (probably the second or last one) mostly because I really want an excuse to print one of these and see how it comes out. I have to decide and send them a jpg of the image, whatever it maybe, on Monday, so I’ve got the weekend to mull it over.
