UNDER MY UMBRELLA: Pedestrians made their way through New York’s Times Square in the rain on Monday.

There are so many balanced aspects of this picture–lines, circles, colors. Love it.

Love the symmetry with the one inconsistency–woman looking out.

History Re-Invented

I took this picture in Edinburgh, Scotland, in June 2006. Interesting alteration of the statue’s meaning or purpose by using a cone that came from the nearby construction site. Also, this picture was taken in the early afternoon, meaning there was plenty of time for a city worker to remove the cone, yet it remained.

The Flat side of San Fran.

At pbase.com, photographer Dan Ng ponders,

“What would San Francisco be without its steep hills?

Well for one, if would be much easier to walk around and without much effort. It would be easier to park a car and not have to curb the wheels. We would not have runaway vehicles and tennis balls.

On the other hand, we would not have cable cars, beautiful views and quaint neighborhoods. We would not have the many movies and postcard images to view. In fact, San Francisco would not be San Francisco.”

Dan then mixes up perspectives of San Fransisco streets by taking the slopes out of the streets ::link:: and tilting his camera to make the city’s renowned slopes flat.
