TRACKS

Yesterday was a good shooting day... Beautiful skies, amazing changing light, very inspiring.
The US have something quite special, even living in NYC you often get "connected" with Nature because of the skies..

FIRST NEW YORK SNOW

Snow thinly covered NYC Friday night... And as yesterday I finally treated myself, investing in a real warm parka I had to "put it to the test". Well, in fact, not a real test, as temperature last night was 1°C/34°F. Not that cold to NYC's standards. I'm ashamed to say that I'm looking forward to sub-zero temperatures now... Anyway, a few images in the neighborhood around Prospect Park.

FLATBUSH

It's slowly getting colder in NYC. I have to get some gear to stay warm during those walks. The frisky temperature does not favour concentration neither stability at low shutter speeds...

PRAISE THE LORD | FUNERAL HOME

After a break [ due to the the Holidays + an editorial assignment ] I'm back to my nocturnal walks. Not much time yesterday though, so I decided to take the subway for the Atlantic station and walk around the neighborhood there. Doing so I was reminded that you really don't have to go far in order to "discover" new territories... Brooklyn is so vast and so diverse that I have an extensive source of materials.
On a technical note I'm editing with Lightroom 4 which offers a couple of quite practical new features. I particularly appreciate the local edit of color balance.

DEC 31ST 2012. THANKS MICA!

Before joining good friends for the New Year's Eve I took a walk at Coney Island. I thought that it would be a healthy option before a long night...

While I am shooting, a woman comes to me and we start talking. She tells me that she is a singer- Mica is her name I think -  She asks me I'd like to hear her sing. I agree and right in front of me here she goes...
What a nice and unexpected encounter on a 31st... May be that is the sign of a fantastic year ahead...
Thanks Mica!
