New York: Central Park
Inspiration: Today, we were graced with another glorious day in the city. After a late lunch with friends at Sarabeth's, I walked across the street into Central Park, determined to do something with the incredible light. Eventually, I ran into this fine gentleman and his menagerie. And we did a photo shoot! If you are wondering whether there was a parade or an asylum nearby . . . the answer is no. This is his style. And as you might expect, he attracts quite a bit of attention. Everyone wants his photograph or to be photographed with him. Popular guy. This guy and his menagerie.

Dude, how incredibly amazingly gnarly is he?? That lighting is out of this world! :) so awesome! I love that 2nd photo, you can still see the tag on his glasses!!

"For those moments when black & white won't do."
Well, you had a very good intuition...
