Above is an old postcard from 1905 of two women crossing a snowy intersection on 5th Avenue.  The inscription reads, "A Chilly Day On Fifth Avenue, New York."

Another Snowstorm and People Photographs, Part 4

http://www.jamesmaherphotography.com/images/0000/0697/winter_fashion_3.jpg

I'm probably going to finish up these snow photographs and then go back to the normal routine after this weekend.  I need to start adding more of the vintage photographs, and a little more variety, but finding time has been tough and it takes awhile to retouch the old photos.

I finally upgraded my operating system a few days ago and now nothing works.  I'm slowly getting everything up to speed now.  So many important programs suddenly don't work and need to be upgraded.  Oh well.. I guess it was to be expected.

Snowstorm and Sunset At The Brooklyn Bridge

http://www.jamesmaherphotography.com/images/0000/0695/brooklyn_bridge_snowstorm_sunset2.jpg

The sky was white and unassuming until the sun began to set.  Then the colors lit up the sky as if the entire city was on fire.

Another Snowstorm and People Photographs, Part 2

http://www.jamesmaherphotography.com/images/0000/0685/lower_east_side_winter_fashion.jpg

I was around one of the NYU dorms on 2nd Ave trying to clean off my lens when this guy passed.  I didn't quite notice him at first since I was focused on my camera, but then I thought to myself 'wait a minute, did I just see purple pants and a leopard print umbrella just pass??'

When I was just starting out in photography I would have taken a photograph from behind and convinced myself that it was good enough, too timid to approach the person directly.  This time, I jogged him down the block and tapped him on the shoulder a couple of times to get his attention through his headphones.

And what do you know?  He was excited about me taking his photo!  I mean... who dresses like that and doesn't want their photo taken?

Another Snowstorm and People Photographs, Part 1

http://www.jamesmaherphotography.com/images/0000/0669/crate_nyc_snowstorm.jpg

Even I'm starting to get sick of the snow.  Luckily, today it feels like spring is coming, but giant puddles on every intersection is what we had to deal with over the weekend.

It was a long week and a sudden snowstorm that left me without a real plan for where to take photos.  The weathermen didn't even have much time to pimp the storm as they usually do.  So I decided to just walk around the East Village and Union Square and take photos of people and their winter attire.

After all, you can really tell a lot about a person from what they wear in a storm.

I'm going to spread these people photographs out through posts for the rest of the week, and then hopefully we'll be done with all of this snow.

Dog and Owner in Union Square Snowstorm

http://www.jamesmaherphotography.com/images/0000/0667/dog_in_union_square.jpg

I was planning on being done with the snow photos, but then it snowed again.  So I guess you're stuck with them for a little longer.
