Last June, I went to New York for a few days, just to look around with my camera. Street photography, mostly, but there was some “urban geometry.” Unfortunately, when I got home, one of my cards was missing. I switch cards every day or two, just in case there’s a problem with a card, or if my camera gets stolen, or something like that. But when I got home, I couldn’t find it anywhere. I figured it must have gotten pulled out of my bag when pulling something else out, and I didn’t hear it fall to the floor. It was disappointing, but I was able to let it go. Mainly because I didn’t know what was on it, for the most part.

I flew out on a Wednesday, and the photos were of Wednesday afternoon and evening. That was a six-mile walk, then after dark I took a two-mile walk to Times Square and back. The only thing I could remember shooting for sure was when I was sitting in a bar while it rained. And there was one really boring part of the walk with nothing to see.

But on a recent trip, I discovered the missing card in a pocket of my bag. So now I can see what I shot that day. And I’m very happy I found them!

I’ll start off with this gem. They seem embarrassed for someone…
did you see that guy?

In the middle of my walk, I decided to stop in a bar for a drink. While sitting there, it started raining. I trained my camera on the door…

I love how they’re wearing the same shade of purple. I just wish the bather had been leaning toward the woman. The bather is a sculpture by Carol Feuerman, called “Pisces”. There is a corresponding work across the street.

Then Times Square in the evening…

And now we move from street photography to urban geometry.

I love the old rooflines.

My favorite building this trip was the Empire State Building. But the Chrysler Building is always great.

So that was my Wednesday, June 14th, 2023.
