I first noticed those 2 kids as they crossed 85th Street, over the east side of Broadway. A a couple of minutes later, they had turned around as well as were heading north; they passed me, heading uptown, among 87th as well as 88th Street…

**********************

This is region of an evolving photo-project, that is about to maybe continue byout the summer of 2008, as well as maybe beyond: a random collection of "interesting" people in a broad stretch of the Upper West Side of Manhattan — among 72nd Street as well as 104th Street, regionicularly along Broadway as well as Amsterdam Avenue.

I do not just like to intrude over people’s privacy, so I usually utilize a telephoto lens in order to photograph them although they are still 50-100 feet away from me; several nevertheless that implys I have to continue focusing my attention over the people as well as activities half a block away, more than over what’s just in front of me.

I’ve asides learned that, in a lot of cases, the opportunities as for an interesting picture are really fleeting — literally a matter of a couple of seconds, prior to the person(s) in question mobile over, turn away, or stop committing whatsoever was interesting. So I’ve learned to keep the camera switched over (which againstdicts my traditional urge to conserve battery power), as well as not worry so much method about zooming in as for a perfectly-framed picture … afterwards the entire, when the digital picture is uploaded to my dsktop computer, it is really trivial to crop out the regions unrelated to the primary subject.

For the all of region, I’ve deliberately avoided photographing bums, drunks, drunks, as well as crazy people. There are a a couple of of them around, as well as they would specificly produce several dramatic images; several nevertheless they commonly do not would like to to be photographed, as well as I do not would like to to feel just like I’m needing advantage of them. I’m still appear to being as for opportunities to take several "sympathetic" images of such that people, that may inspire anothers to reach out as well as assist them. We’ll saw how it goes …

The overly another thing I’ve noticed, thus far, is that although there are lots of interesting people to photograph, there are far, far, far more people who are not so interesting. They’re maybe fine people, as well as they may although be more interesting than the overes I’ve photographed … several nevertheless there was just nothing memorable about them.
