How great, that man in the white suit, staring out into the space of the crossing. Great shot.
thank you – i enjoy the white stripes of the crossing to complement, too!
Interesting crowd!
i just did a Google search on the date at Hammerstein Ballroom, and it appears as if it may be a America’s Got Talent audition!
Oh…I too like the old guy in the white suit….makes the composition for me.
yes, he really caught my eye, though the drag queens on the left also adds to the shot (smile). thank you.
wild shot/ thanx again
thank you!!
nice
glad you enjoy it!
Hi! what lens do you use? I like your photographs!
thank you, Cedric! i typically use the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L on a cropped sensor DSLR (Canon T1i), so not actually those focal lengths. this was taken with my carry-around, the Canon EF 24mm f/2.8. no zoom, but so much lighter! what camera do you use? thank you, again!
Nice! I use a Canon 50D and a canon G12 for traveling. Are you familiar with sigma lenses? I wonder if I should give them a try 🙂
I love this one.
thank you!

hi, Cedric, i’ve never used Sigma lenses before. i’ve borrowed a Tamron telephoto, and it was not the sharpest, but still a bit magical (smile). i hear the G12 is wonderful!

my parents called last night – guess who was on America’s Got Talent? this 77-year-old man named Burton Crane — he’s the man in the red shirt and white suit. check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QW4RUIjOp9k. wonder where his Casio is.
