I looked at a lot of concrete today so this is a nice break.

I have been thinking a lot about portraits these days – it’s what I love to photograph most. But what makes a portrait mine? Are my portraits more about lighting? Environment? Personality? I feel like the trend now is the straight on serious stare, which I like, but it’s not exactly me. Others may like it because it’s in style. Is the picture about me or the subject or both? It’s definitely a collaboration, and the successful photo likely captures the essence of both parties. But is this a Wendy photo? And what does that even mean? And does it matter? Probably getting in too deep here…

I just read this morning that the game, Shoot the Freak, a Coney Island staple, has 15 days to leave the park, never to return.

The Empire State Building never fails to inspire me. And it’s inspiring me to upgrade my camera-uh, I mean, my phone. Best to view this photo at a tiny size.

This puddle says it’s a cloudy day in Manhattan.
