Maximizing Space in Old Delhi

My Flickr contact David Pham took this amazing picture of a restaurant with the kitchen on top in Old Delhi, Delhi, India.

Brilliant catch with the faces up front.

Walking in Williamsburg

My Flickr contact Roy Savoy took this great picture of a orthodox Jewish (Hasidic) man walking in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Inside Out

French photographer JR who I posted about in 2008 with his Women are Heroes Project has since received a TED Prize and gone on to a new project called “Inside Out” which the video above documents.

I’m curious about the printing process: it’s very fast, low resolution monochrome, and on thin paper. It would be fun to have a printer like that to make wrapping paper.

Street reflection

My Flickr contact obtus took this interesting reflection somewhere in Japan with his Ricoh GR. This is a terrific genre and a number of my Flickr contacts are really good at it. Almost looks like a double exposure which the Ricoh GR is capable of in-camera, but it’s a single shot of a window.

Melons

My Flickr contact rainy day posted this terrific image of a shop loaded with melons in Shanghai, China.

Monsoon repose

My flickr contact Presence Inc posted this terrific image of street vendors in Mumbai, India sitting out the monsoon (it’s a long sit). Taken with his Sony RX100 III.

Times Square

My flickr contact Roy Savoy took this perfectly timed image of two people passing in front of an Old Navy billboard in Times Square, New York with his Ricoh GR II.

Face

My flickr contact Keith Goldstein took this picture of a crumpled piece of paper on a sidewalk in Manhattan (NY) with a face on it.

For me, what’s great about this image is that it’s probably an advertisement but the face is a real person with a story (even the ad has a story) and here it is on a discarded piece of paper on the ground in a city where most people will step over it (or on it). That face is a real person with a life, even if she’s a model for an ad agency. The fact that the wall and sidewalk are grimy and that the paper is white helps the effect of a face peering through a wormhole in time.

I’m not really sure what makes all of this work for me but it does.

Mannequin legs

My flickr contact youngjun uun posted this fantastic image of mannequin legs with fishnet stockings on them taken with a Ricoh GR.

Williamsburg

A young Hasidic boy reading a magazine on Bedford, Avenue. Note the payot (pronounced “payos” the Hebrew word for sidecurl).

My flickr contact Roy Savoy took these great images of Hasidic Jews in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, New York with his Ricoh GR II.

Two Hasidic boys on their bike with another reality in the background. Brilliant image.

A confab of Hasidic men, two on cell phones.

Two Hasidic men, one with an amazing hat.
