New York: Washington Square Park
Inspiration: One of the members of Acapella Soul. Check them out here (he is the guy in the red shirt and cap who's singing). They sing all over the city, but I usually see them performing in front of large groups of people under the arch at Washington Square Park. When I took this, he was in the middle of "My Girl". This dude is the epitome of a performer. He sings with his entire body and puts his all into each note.
I think this is my new favorate photo of yours...

That was gnarly. It looks like his voice is going through his veins and out his mouth and eckoing beautifuly through the subway. It would be so hard not to be stoped in their tracks!

My God, PD, you do find the most wonderful people! You're making me want to move back to NYC!
I can't get over that if I don't click on your link every day - more than once - I miss so much good stuff.
Do you mind me asking: how many days a week would you say you're out shooting? Do you have a day job?

Jill: I most definitely have a day job. It is sometimes a night job and a weekend job. Photography is my passion and makes me happy on those days when my day/night/weekend job makes me crazy. I go out with my camera as often as I can -- sometimes, if I have the time, for hours and hours. At other times, 15 minutes or when I am going from one place to the next in a taxi cab (quite a few of my photos are from a taxi cab!)
Anyway, I must thank you for your visits and your comments! They always, always make my day!
P.S. I feel the same about your blog too . . . so I do check on it every day.
