My Sister

This photo is completely untouched, this is the way it came out on the camera 100%. I personally wanted to see if I can retouch this somehow somewhere, but I personally just can't think of where to start.

This came out perfectly, in my opinion.

Distorted Sense Of Reality

I've always been fascinated about how the glass on skyscrapers can heavily distort reflections of their nearby neighbors. Took this just outside of Bryant Park with my SONY A-300 and after desaturating and amplifying the colors back and forth, I came up with this result.

Signs Of A Slowly Decaying Civilization

This photo is completely natural and unaltered. I was just walking around my neighborhood in Bensonhurst when I came across this beat-up and abandoned postal box, and I took a photo of this and got startled because my flash went off by accident.

But the flash gave the photo a beautiful effect, in my opinion.

Just A Random Idea

That's a real .308 Winchester bullet that came off of my bullet bracelet. I was just sitting around looking for some inspiration when I found this can of soda that I just killed. So.. boredom struck and an idea lit up in my head.

And so... here you are.

New York

Took this photo of the New York Times Building at West 42nd with my SONY A-300. This photo completely natural and unedited. The design of the building's facade kinda gave this photo a black/white feel to it.

Alnost kinda like a newspaper. Ironic, eh?

Chrysler Building In All Its Beauty

Took this photo of the Chrysler Building over about 10 seconds, and then I set the black/white scenery to give it a vintage feel and look to it.

Darkened Lower Manhattan Skyline

Took this from the Brooklyn Bridge with my SONY A-300, and then I darkened it by lowering the exposure and later desaturating the colors and then increasing the contrast of the colors.

I've always loved New York and it's urban beauty, it's like therapy to me.. in a way.

Let Him Guide Your Way

Found this dude right across the street from Ground Zero a few weeks ago when I was on my way back to class, and it kinda caught my attention how he had his one of his arms pointed away from the World Trade Center site.

Almost as if he was guiding the survivors on 9/11 "their way" away from the burning towers and towards safe(r) streets.

Ice Scream For Optical Illusions!

Just a little something that I took a photo of way back in Spring Break a few months ago. I found this completely by accident while I was eating, which kinda gave me a laugh.
