Astor Place

I was free one day at lunch time and took the subway up to Astor Place in Greenwich Village.  The core of the area is a square with a giant black cube called "Alamo".  I took several shots from different angles and generally focused on a single man standing near the giant work of art.  Here are three of those shots with different treatments.

Here is the same angle but with some dramatic tension from the emergence of the curly haired woman.

Opposing the Cube

I moved across to the east corner of the plaza, and represented it with a black and white perspective.

Then across from the south vantage point, there were some contrasting shapes, the circles of the bicycle and rack opposing the cube.
