Hearst Building - New York
A Bridge Of Time
The Hearst Building in New York, headquarters of the Hearst publishing empire, is an architectural anomaly with significant sections built in different millennia.
The concrete and steel base section was completed in 1928. The upper glass tower with triangular framing was completed in 2006.
I'll admit that the stacked design did not appeal to me initially. The upper and lower sections seemed too different. But over time, I have come to appreciate the aesthetic appeal of the structure in its entirety. Like the business that houses, the Hearst Building successfully bridges two centuries with class and style.

Discover The Pattern
Shops in the city cover their windows with heavy metal gates to prevent theft and damage after hours. I passed by a number of these gates during a casual stroll today. By shooting from an oblique angle, I was able to get the get the lines of the gate to converge in an interesting way.
(There's no particular magic to this technique. You can get the same effect with a phone camera. Just find some parallel lines and shoot them from an angle. Try it! It's fun!)
The gate was painted in drab, uninteresting gray. I converted the image to black & white to focus attention on the shape of the lines and the texture of the metal. I hope you like the result!

Dog, Cigarette, and Baby
Everything's Right When You're Downtown
A friend ran an errand on William Street recently. Afterward, she commented on the intriguing character of downtown neighborhoods.
I used to work near William Street. I enjoyed walking around with my camera whenever I had the opportunity. The people are more relaxed here than they are in midtown, and there's a lot of visual and architectural variation in a relatively small area.
Photograph your life. Photograph everything, shoot like you mean it, and never throw those images away. You never know which shot is going to mean something to you one day.
Wishing you great shots and lasting memories!
Camera: Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Lenses: Canon ES 24-105mm f/4L IS

Mariachis In The Square
Expect The Unexpected
Mexico is full of surprises. When you're traveling there - really traveling, not sitting on a beach sipping a Corona - keep your camera handy, or you'll miss some amazing photo opportunities.
Take these mariachis, for example. I was walking down a plain looking street in Mexico City one afternoon when I turned the corner and found myself in the midst of upwards of a hundred mariachis congregating in out of the city's larges squares. It was one of those moments when you question what your eyes are telling you.
What were they all doing there? They weren't performing. One of the mariachis told me that they had assembled there that day to work through some sort of labor dispute. I'm not sure if that was the straight story, but it was there story, and I am passing it along to you.
Mexico is full or surprises.
