I spent almost an hour searching for this picture. When I took it, I felt that the lack of critical focus was a big problem, so I didn’t segregate the image in a way in which I could easily find it. The UV filter had fogged up leaving only the young Latina in focus. Yet despite the softness of the picture, I have had this one in the back of mind for the past six years. I finally took the time to find it, and I’m no longer worried about the lack of razor sharp detail that was lost. I’m just glad the image is no longer lost…

Photographing NYC for 25 years, six of them while driving a New York City taxi. Trying very hard to capture the city as life unfolds, meaning I never stage any of my photos! Also I am a close confidant of the immortal Dave Beckerman, (quintessential NYC photographer) and owner of the first photography blog in the known universe. View all posts by Matt Weber
I’m glad you found it, Matt. I find myself drawn towards these kinds of energetic, multifaceted scenes in my own photography as well. The composition is great, as is the energy of the scene.
Thanks Shinka!
Lots of layers. 👌
Thanks!
