New York At Night
I've finally started going through my New York photos, although I've barely started and don't really have much time tonight. Still, one of the first ones I came across I decided I wanted to play around with since it had so much of that busy quality that just shouted New York on our first night there. Once I hit some of the daytime shots I should be in a position to start pinpointing locations I've also seen in photos by +John Frenzel so there's that to look forward to over the next week.

Father Carrying Daughter
I knew I'd taken a lot of photos in America but I didn't think it would take me this long to go through them. I'm about halfway through the initial pass of storing and ditching; it may take quite a while longer yet before I get as far as playing around and seeing what I can do with the ones I'm keeping. Anyway, before I get to the New York photos – where I went a little street happy (hoorah!) – I felt the urge to process at least one of the pictures kept so far and this is it: a father carrying his daughter (I'm guessing) after the holiday parade in Reston, Virginia on the day after Thanksgiving. Not a lot here; just a few enhancements to bring out some details, adjust for the contrast of the light and shade, and then warm it up a bit with a filter since it seemed a trifle chilly.

America
Okay, so I've been back from America for a few days now and I've only barely scratched the surface of going through the photos taken. Jet lag and general catching up with life are combining to make this a long-winded process but I thought it might be nice to make it clear that the TSA didn't detain me, I didn't suffer a fatal reaction to Black Friday-related pepper-spraying, and the lure of life as an illegal alien in the land of big cars, big distances, and big fascination with texting people while driving (seriously, everyone did that; stop it!) wasn't overpowering enough to prevent me leaving. But I'm looking forward to heading back next year. You've got a pretty nice country over there. Google+: View post on...
Mannequin
I know what you're thinking. You're thinking: is that a woman carrying a naked, armless, headless mannequin through the street? It is. This will probably be my last post for a few weeks (and then expect a torrent) owing to an imminent trip across that there pond that separates the UK from the US. Washington, Boston, and New York await us and we're looking forward to seeing many highlights including Thanksgiving at first hand, the Patriots taking on Kansas at Gillette Stadium, a satellite due for launch next year being built, and even the delightful +Patricia Elizabeth in the flesh! Unless the TSA probing is too much to bear. Then we'll cry and come straight back. Google+: View post on...
Outside The Fountain
There's a man who's frequently outside The Fountain, a pub we have to pass at lunchtime between the sandwich place where my colleague buys his lunch and the point by Chichester Cross where I usually stalk photographic victims. This man is fairly old, wears fairly old clothes, always has a hat, has a pint, and smokes; he would make a great subject and so I've been trying to photograph him for ages but he's got a nasty habit of turning away. This isn't the shot I've been going for but it does feature him in the middle ground beyond the advertising signs. I will get him properly one day but I quite liked the relatively busy quality of this shot that I took on the walk past the pub so this will do for now. Google+: View post on...
Nokia Lumia 800
So, I went and upgraded my old phone to the brand new Nokia Lumia 800 running Windows Phone 7.5 today. It's my first experience with Windows Phone OS and I have to say it's damned impressive. Add in a wonderfully-built bit of hardware and I think it's fair to say that I love this phone. Google+: View post on...
