Down in Lower Manhattan, there is a highway of sorts. Things are kind of confused there due to all the WTC re-construction. I was on a bridge that goes over this highway. Just goes to show you can literally find everything there.
Well, that is the series, folks. I hope you enjoyed it. I have many thousands of shots, and hundreds that are pretty good, and many that are great (IMHO). Can't wait for my next trip there! NYC is just wonderful, some of the best America has to offer.

So we ate out quite a bit while in NYC. We went out with friends several times. One of our friends really knows the restaurant scene there. Good times. This restaurant, The Odeon, was just so classic NYC.
My friend told me there are 22,000 restaurants in NYC. They are basically all good, or they vanish in a few months. We did not have a bad meal nor bad service. I'd gladly eat here again, and be served by her, isn't she just perfect? (I'm a sucker for bangs, in case you didn't know...)

Hey photographers! Especially you street photogs... Gotta know your framelines, right?

How much do I love the sights of Seattle? Ummmm, a lot!

I was visiting a farmer's market recently for the first time. Walking along, I happened upon this scene. The guitarist was taking a break, having some lunch. I looked down and thought "could anyone make this composition more perfect?" I immediately thought it might make a nice Topaz Tuesday subject.
So into Topaz Adjust 5.0 we go. I did this on a Photoshop layer. I knew Adjust would liven up the background and that wasn't what I was looking for, just emphasize the "years of experience" on the guitar. This time I didn't use a preset, I just worked with the sliders visually to achieve the look I wanted, being careful not to "overdo" it.
Back in Photoshop, I used a layer mask and painted in the original background. As always, the original is available on the Continue link below. As is a comment area, which are free today, so have at it.
She said to me sweetly...
(I can imagine, right?)
