New York: Gramercy Park
Inspiration: My guy and I were heading to dinner at the Gramercy Hotel last night when we noticed that the trees in the park were awash with beautiful colored lights coming from the building. As we closed in on the hotel, we could see the set up for the filming of a movie. The only camera on me was the one on my i-phone, so I snapped this quickly before we darted in to try to snag bar seats (regular tables are impossible to get on short notice). The flash went off, which surprised me. I didn't realize I had flash on my i-phone. In any event, when I looked at the photo today, I noticed it was unfocused but filled with an array of unusual colors - an amalgam of the yellowing leaves on the trees, the colored lights, the flash and the street light nearby. I played around with the white balance in Lightroom and this is the result. Not really my photographic style but I like it.
to me it looks likes something that would be on the discovery channel about a faraway star exploding.

How can we buy your photos? What type of lens do you use? I love your work and want to buy some of them to help decorate an apt.
