I like the second one

HORST P. HORST did a very daring job in the 1950s....

what a wonderful group of images you got here Jurjen ! !

ANDREW MOORE and shoes!
what a stellar picture this is!
I know Zaphira will flip for it as I did!

New York City did not change much in some areas .... I compare then and now in images.....

tell me if it is OK to add here pics of NYC in 2010

photographer: Yannis (my first born)he somehow has an eye for memorable images

Very nice

But I would not pay those prices even if I had that kind of cash to spend.

i think if i had the money , i would by the second one

Jurjenjekav # Monday, October 11, 2010 5:53:05 PM

@Conor, the second one is indeed great with all the mist and smoke, I like it too!

@Angeliki: Yes, I guess Horst it was daring for the time. I thought you would like the shoes picture, so predictable!

Of course its more than okay to add pictures. At least with me it is, you should also ask the photographer of course

I'd love to see them!

@Mags: I agree, I never understand these prices neither. It's the fact it could be reproduced very easy which doesn't make it feel as the real artwork you own. Often there is a series of several prints too. For a painting it feel much more as if its worth it. Weird, because I do appreciate the artistic values of the pictures...

@Rania: Wow, NY 42nd street is popular! It sure is a nice one

the photographer is one cool and gifted guy (if I may say myself) *proud mom*

here is a taste on NYC by my child :

my turn to say ,"you know me too well! "

Jurjenjekav # Monday, October 11, 2010 7:36:16 PM

You should be proud, very nice pictures!

The second fascinates me, I guess it's the mysterious light and the movement of the pigeon. I like it, nice

Please pass on to him my sincere compliments!

MConor # Monday, October 11, 2010 7:39:09 PM

I like the first and third one... if the Pigeon was clear, the second one would be a one in a million shot

actually it is deliberately taken this way

thanks Jurjen
his work in the underground subway is very interesting too.

MConor # Monday, October 11, 2010 7:47:19 PM

Well, it's just my personal preference

Jurjenjekav # Monday, October 11, 2010 7:48:51 PM

What is that, another insect attacking the butterfly?

I love it when it's done right, it creates a dynamic image, you see the movement

Not that it wasn't an excellent shot

actually the image was taken at the Queens Botanical garden. A garden with 386263748585896 thousand of flowers in this case , the bee was running to take place on this flower before the butterfly

Jurjenjekav # Monday, October 11, 2010 8:36:37 PM

386263748585896 thousand of flowers, but they both had to have the same one!

Magsintothedeep # Tuesday, October 12, 2010 12:57:12 AM

Talent must run in your family.

I like all of them, but find the photo of the train tracks quite alluring.
