Is this thing on?
Tap! Tap! Tap! Testing: One, two! One, two! Is this thing on? Wow! It’s been a slow few days. I guess that everyone was out watching the World Series or something. 
All across blog land things have been pretty slow in both posts and comments. I wonder what’s going on? People hunkering down and getting ready for the holidays? Oh well, wherever you are and whatever you’re doing, I hope that you are having fun doing it!
As you can see on this typical NYC street crossing, and I do mean typical; there is no shortage of people there. You see the bumper of that car? That’s a taxi trying to make a turn, but the light changed and the pedestrians were offering no break at all. Tough luck cabbie! See the guy with the cell phone? Look at his knee. Talk about close.
Oh, BTW, the dude on the left with the coffee cup, that’s Tom! You’ll never see him without his morning cuppa joe!
What did you shoot this with? the detail is fantastic. I don’t know how people could do that everyday, I sometimes go for days without seeing anyone but Diane when she gets home from work. And I know how Tom is about the coffee I can’t go a day without.

@Ray: This was shot with the Leica M6 and Ilford FP4. I was shooting using hyperfocal focusing. f/8 @1/250th, I believe.

Well, my excuse is I did some travel and did not take my laptop with me.
Yes, NYC is packed full of people, almost one on top of another. This image sure does show that. I did not notice the guys knee until you mentioned it. Wonder if he even was aware of it.

This is how I imagine NYC. People, people, people… must be intense!
Great capture, the bumper of the car and the knee-jerk reaction of the guy are kind of unobtrusive, but as soon as you’ve seen it, it becomes a lasting main motive.
