Lower East Side, probably on seventh street, just west of Tompkin’s Square. I wasn’t doing much photography back then, but for some reason had the camera with me. Shot on Kodak Safety Film which I think was Plus-X, but don’t really remember. Anyway – whatever had happened was over, and the cops were on their way down the fire-escape after having to break into the apartment through the window. We stood around asking each other [more]

Infrared / HDR Let us put it this way – I have been photographing the reservoir for decades. First time I got a good shot of the “spritzer.” If there’s a purpose for it, other than decorative, I don’t know. Another example of combining a few photography techniques. In this case, the modified infrared camera, plus NIK HDR software and their Silver Effex module.
