Thursday

Quiet Spaces

When I am photo rambling the streets of New York I am intrigued by how many quiet spaces there are in the city. For a city of roughly 8.5 million people you would expect people to all over the place but that really isn’t the case. The time of day, day of the week, and season have a large bearing on the crowd size. If I recall correctly this image was taken in the early spring on Thursday. Unlike Arthur Dent I can get the hang of Thursdays. The seems to be filled with people just living their day to day life. Nothing remarkable just life in the city. This image was taken on Portra 400 and processed at home. I converted it to B&W to enhance the graphic quality of the buildings and the isolation of the figure in the lower left corner.
