Because we are leaving the city for a week, an excuse to post very New Yorky pictures. Two cool guys outside a tat parlor in Brooklyn.
Business types on the subway
and a guy with cool yellow glasses reading an actual book.
On the way to the fireworks
on a red white and blue day
Dallas Barbecue feels festive
Then up to the roof
for the magical show which does not photograph well
That's what's good about fireworks --so fleeting and lovely that you have to BE THERE
It was fun.
There's something nostalgic about your photographs. I think it's the light -- it suggests an earlier time, somehow.
ReplyDeleteI don't know anything about it, but it's what I see.

My favourite's the dude in the yellow shades, reading a book. Enjoy your new tattoo! (I assume that's how you persuaded those macho men outside the tat parlour to let you get their pix?)
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, hoping your week away will bring relief from NYC's current heat and humidity! Have a great break.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, I love all these photos, with my favorite being those little Chevrolets just inside the back window of the big Chevrolet. Wow.
xo
I'm lovin' your photos especially the vintage firework one and the yellow glasses...so cool.
ReplyDeleteHave wonderful time out of the city.
I love Peals comment, I feel that way too.
ReplyDeleteand like louciao I want to see your tattoo.
Have some lovely time away from the heat of the city.
cheers, parsnip
sigh...will have to BE THERE for the fireworks, one year.
ReplyDeletenext time in the city i will meet one of those cool guys, or a cool guy...
Hee Hee!
ReplyDeleteNo, I do NOT have a tattoo, I will NEVER have a tattoo.
My philosophy is: each to his/her own.....
I merely try to record stuff I see....
I often ask people if they will pose for me,and they most often agree to.
I try to avoid posting really unflattering or unkind photos.
Happy weekend!
These are fantastic photos...what a dream to see fire works above NYC.
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of the two business people on the subway. Looks like the guy next to them was just as engaged in the conversation.
Adored them all (of course) but it's a close between the Chev and the Cab!
ReplyDeleteI am not sure what happened to my comment, it seems to have disappeared?
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to congratulate you on your very artistic photographs, they have a lovely painterly quality.
I enjoyed the fireworks, albeit from afar.
Looks like a fun July 4th, indeed!
ReplyDeleteI love the look on the business type woman's face, I think the guy better stop while he's behind
ReplyDeletethese are all wonderful NYC shots
have fun on LI
love your images. i too ask people if l can take their photo and most of them say yes. What camera are you using and do you have a filter on it? xxlynda
ReplyDeleteI'll never read a book in a moving transport. It makes me dizzy. But I like the guys yellow glasses, makes me want to go grab one for me. Anyways, your photos are superb.
ReplyDeletelove this collection of pics... really enjoyed the view
ReplyDeleteGreat New York pictures! Love the fireworks over the city, I bet it was really beautiful in person.
ReplyDeleteCool guys? No, just faddish.
