Joe, the details of this dark statue are so neat. The quality of this shot is (almost) incredible.
The moment is well chosen : the expression is priceless. He’s just realising that the baby’s bare nude – disgusting!
Union Square Park, is it my favorite Manhattan park? Humm, almost. I surely have a stop everytime I’m around. There’s always something going on. It’s always full of people. There’s many different sections; I can use the benches, the grass or the steps, as I feel. And there’s a great market (where they sell fromage de lait cru – and other goods). It’s steps away from the Strand. It connects to so many subway lines. Hummm… longing…
Another amazing shot of something I’ve seen so often I don’t even notice it anymore. Thanks for reminding me to stop and see what’s there to capture instead of spending all my time looking for something to shoot.
