On Oct 3, 2009 I made some modifying enhancements to the picture. Primarily, I diminished the extent of shadows within the space behind the writer-woman. I additionally made a slight improve to the saturation of the pores and skin tones in her face (and the opposite lady’s again), in addition to the general "vibrancy" of the non-skin-tone colours within the image. Not an enormous change, however I feel it is somewhat higher this manner… in fact, I ought to have achieved all of this after I first took the picture, however at that time (a yr in the past), I did not understand how. Things get higher, little by little…

This is a part of an evolving photo-project, which can most likely proceed all through the summer time of 2008, and maybe past: a random assortment of "interesting" individuals in a broad stretch of the Upper West Side of Manhattan — between 72nd Street and 104th Street, particularly alongside Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue.
I do not prefer to intrude on individuals’s privateness, so I usually use a telephoto lens so as to {photograph} them whereas they’re nonetheless 50-100 ft away from me; however meaning I’ve to proceed focusing my consideration on the individuals and actions half a block away, relatively than on what’s proper in entrance of me.
I’ve additionally realized that, in lots of instances, the alternatives for an attention-grabbing image are very fleeting — actually a matter of a few seconds, earlier than the individual(s) in query transfer on, flip away, or cease doing no matter was attention-grabbing. So I’ve realized to maintain the digicam switched on (which contradicts my conventional urge to preserve battery energy), and never fear a lot about zooming in for a perfectly-framed image … in any case, as soon as the digital picture is uploaded to my laptop, it is fairly trivial to crop out the elements unrelated to the principle topic.
For essentially the most half, I’ve intentionally prevented photographing bums, drunks, drunks, and loopy individuals. There are a number of of them round, and they’d definitely create some dramatic footage; however they typically do not need to be photographed, and I do not need to really feel like I’m profiting from them. I’m nonetheless in search of alternatives to take some "sympathetic" footage of such individuals, which could encourage others to achieve out and assist them. We’ll see the way it goes …
The solely different factor I’ve observed, so far, is that whereas there are many attention-grabbing individuals to {photograph}, there are far, far, *far* extra people who find themselves *not* so attention-grabbing. They’re most likely advantageous individuals, they usually may even be extra attention-grabbing than those I’ve photographed … however there was simply nothing memorable about them.
