The Alley...

...a dreadful record of sin...

Swiss Breakfast

While discovering a new breakfast dining spot in SoHo, that will definitely be revisited numerous times in the future, I took the time to capture the essence of the beauty of the ambience.

Café Select is a great way to begin the day before taking to the bustling shopping district streets of SoHo.

The Perfect Block

New York City can be a constant visual overload; which in my opinion is why it works so well for film making and videography. The viewer is constantly engaged by not only the subject but also the environment of said subject.  However, when it comes to my idea of photography, I prefer a less is more approach.

While strolling between villages in Manhattan (West Village into Greenwich Village), bar hopping, I chose to take a quieter, less scenic route between busy avenues and arrived at this gem of an intersection:

Minetta Triangle, Manhattan, NYC

I was taken with the simplistic beauty (reoccurring theme of mine) of this environment.  Although it's in the midst of a very popular party and entertainment district, it manages to retain it's quiet charm.  Additionally, the melodramatic artificial glow on the block personified the after midnight diminishing ambience of the moment.  I was reminded of the heavy footsteps upon concrete echoing back in the night that I experienced in an equally as charming southern setting in the city of Charleston, South Carolina some years back.

This environment has inspired me to finally decide upon a setting for a short film drama that I've already written which is in need of a location. I look forward to re-imagining inspiration on this side street.

Summer Evenings...

I'm looking forward to warmer, and maybe even hot, weather later this year. I'll trade baking in the sun for sunsets like this again.

It was a beautiful day in the city...but being underground and beneath ceilings have their perks as well.

This is just a couple views caught beneath Lafayette and Spring streets in SoHo and a pit stop to pick up a friend at Grand Central Station in Midtown Manhattan.
