This is Amy ... she was on a break from her job in NYC.
She was sitting on the top stair of a basement flat.
She was very shy at first, but the offer of a free photo sent by email won her over.

Quick Silver is a sequential marquis - one letter at a time lights up.
This is located in NYC Times Square.
It took me a few times to get all of the segments lit at the same time.
In the middle of trying to hold the camera steady I was being bumped by the hordes of tourists gawking at the sky scrapers.

Right around the corner from "QuickSilver" is Madam Toussads Wax Museum.
Right on 42nd street.
I was sitting on the ground and wrapped around a light pole in order to steady the camera.
Funny thing ... It didn't appear odd at all to those passing by...You see all kinds of things in the City.
This was a 9 shot HDR hand held ...
The longest exposure was about 2 seconds.

I do keep my car clean - however, you may find me in all manner of locations that reek of rust and grunge.
Color and Texture, Worn out and Rusted Relics ...
My Favorites !!!
Found this in a row of garages that hadn't been opened in years.
Had to fight the spiders off just to get enough room to back up and photograph this now derelect electric panel.
It is in fact a DC motor control switch and had been encrusted with rust and sediment.
The light level was very low and this took about a 30 second exposure.
But this time I had my tripod and didn't have to wrap myself around a pole!

Thanks to 'TreeSemdyZee' ~~~ 'axmea?' ~~~ and 'Masterbeatty'
Appreciate your replies !

And, No, this isn't my first rodeo :-) though I may fallen off the horse a few times !

Got started doing art early - I remember daydreaming and doodling in grade school.
My favorite subjects even back then were Fast Custom cars, Military Airplanes [of the Prop Driven variety], Spanish Galleons, British Frigates, and also Portraits.

Guess I'm still doodling - tho' now its in PhotoShop - I still like cars, planes, ships, and people... and now, old rusty things.

Don't have a website anymore [too much time to keep it up] but might dive back in one of these days.

Thanks again,
