Clearly the theme of this week is advertising.  This wasn't planned but probably a little bit subconscious.

This image also reminds me of one of my favorite shots from this year.

You may say that this is just a coincidence or a random occurrence, but I think that this downplays the role of advertising and fashion in our lives.  I think there has to be a connection here and an influence.

What do you think, coincidence or not?

It was only a matter of time till I caught that damn Abercrombie bag next to a real belly. 

And if you visit New York, do not step foot into these three shops. Please.

If I could live in any neighborhood in New York (besides the EV), this would be it.  Read why through the stories from the neighborhood locals in the larger version.

Hip shot.  It's much harder to frame correctly and to focus correctly but for certain shots it makes being candid and getting close so much easier.

However, that's not the main reason why I like it.  I go back to it time and time again because I love that slightly lower perspective that it gives, elongating people just enough to give them presence and stature, while also giving a very pleasing upward view of the tall buildings in the background.

This Cindy Sherman self portrait, while completely separate from the realm of traditional candid street photography, has probably informed my street photography more than any other individual photograph.

Treat the city or where you live as if you would a landscape in nature.  You might find it to be even more beautiful on occasion.

For those of you that are curious, this is what a front yard looks like in the city.  And you wonder why we're neurotic.
