This shot was taken in the financial district of NYC. We walked around Wall Street in the rain and then back up to the World Trade Center. I had taken a photo of the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks a few months after it happened. I wanted to go back and take a picture that would show how much progress has been made since then. As I was photographing the half finished building I thought I really didn't just want to capture an image of the building but also of those who are around it daily. I squatted down, pointed the camera up towards the building and snapped this photo when the two gentlemen walked into the frame.
Some of you may remember this blog as the postings of my film work that was in the process of being scanned. I had to fall back from that because I found I spent a lot of time scanning, and not behind the lens. Moving forward, this site is just for me to discuss and share my photos that I find interesting. Most of these will be candid, street or travel photography. I hope you enjoy. Feedback (including criticism) is always welcome.
