Another Soho night shot.  I've been interested in the architectural geometry of the scaffolding around the city (seems like more than ever).  You can see this is my last post also "Coffee on the Run".  It adds a bit to the composition, I think.  Most cameras let you superimpose a grid to help you with the "Rule of Thirds" which is supposed to help you in composing photos.  The scaffold seems to do much the same but in the real world.

Soho Night Lights

One night, on a long walk from the World Trade Center to Washington Square Park, I passed through Soho.

Prince Street

Prince Street is the heart of Soho.  It is hip, and colorful, and full of life.  Lots of outdoor cafes, shops, and general activity.  I particular love the brick walls, and gates.  Also, I had a slice of pizza that had a unique crust that was cut with scissors to serve it.  In many cases, for these shots, I had to wait a significant enough period of time to let people move out of the shot.  Here were some of the souvenirs from the outing.

This was my favorite, I took several where he looked to the right, but when he turned in this direction, it finished the composition.

From the opposite side of the street, this was the view.  Lots of texture, except in the back of the cab.

Back at the Brick Wall, a bit further up near the corner... again several shots, but this was the only one when he looked down.  

Up Against the Wall

The leg pose of this girl interested me, I also applied a vintage feel to the shot that seemed to fit.

Around the corner, up Broadway, this guy sat up on the window sill supported by the two fire hydrants.  It looks pretty uncomfortable, not only does it appear that he is sitting on sharp points, his feet are also supported by uncomfortable points.  No wonder he looks uncomfortable.

And, then there are the dog walkers.  This poor little pup doesn't seem to want to follow.
