This was shot by Central Park. My sister used to live in New York, so every chance I get to go to New York, I would make a day of walking the streets and photographing the city. This particular day, I was armed with Rollei S35. It is very compact film camera that I can hide in my palm. It is a all manual mechanical camera without a light meter. This means that I had to input all the parameters: shutter speed, aperture and even the distance the subject. This camera strips photography to the bare bones. I really enjoy using this camera because of its sheer simplicity that allows me to focus on my subject matter.
This was winter in the late afternoon. The light was crisp, just as the air was. During the winter season, the sun flies lower on the horizon. Which means it gives you a shallower angle, so it grazes the surface of the buildings. Once I saw that beautiful light, I just waited for some foreground of taxi cabs to come by.
