Candid, Midtown

Midtown, NYC
Photo by myself in Midtown, around 34th Street and Sixth Avenue.

I love taking candid photos of crowds. People are so naturally expressive.

When I took the above photo, I was standing in the midst of a crowded sidewalk on 34th Street, which I usually avoid.

Kajillions of people streamed around me. Beyond, I could see a kajillion more people. It was overwhelming.

    lol guys, I had a tough day today and it was wonderful to come home to such nice comments. I'm glad you all appreciate these candids as much as I do.

    B Squared, lol. Seems like he's laughing with us?

    Hi City Girl
    Great to meet an ex-NYer. I love your work!

    Hi Fredrik
    It's funny, NYers 'see' people but I don't think the people register in our (tiny, crowded) brains. Living in the peaceful countryside like Ystad seems much healthier.

    Hi Lily
    Ha, I wish I had a microphone. It's the woman's eyebrows that are so wonderful.

    Thanks Fancy for NYC!

    Ha, Ken Mac
    I miss your neighborhood and must stop by soon. Greenwich Village is so much calmer than Herald Square.
