A few good Eye Tattoos pictures I identified:

New Yorkers don’t pay significantly consideration to religious posters …


Image by Ed Yourdon
This photo was taken in Times Square, between 43rd and 44th Street on Broadway.

I guess this photo will have to speak for itself … I was definitely not in the mood to stroll more than to this group and find out what they have been attempting to accomplish …

Note: I chose this as my &quotphoto of the day&quot for Nov ten, 2013.

***************

This set of pictures is primarily based on a really basic notion: stroll each block of Manhattan with a camera, and see what occurs. To keep away from missing anything, walk each sides of the street.

That’s all there is to it …

Of course, if you wanted to be much more ambitious, you could also walk the streets of Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx. But that is far more than I’m prepared to commit to at this point, and I’ll leave the remaining boroughs of New York City to other, a lot more adventurous photographers.

Oh, in fact, there’s one much more tiny detail: leave the images alone for a month — unedited, untouched, and unviewed. By the time I actually focus on the initial of these &quotevery-block&quot photos, I will have taken more than eight,000 photos on the nearby streets of the Upper West Side — plus another a number of thousand in Rome, Coney Island, and the numerous spots in NYC where I traditionally take photos. So I do not count on to be emotionally attached to any of the &quotevery-block&quot images, and hope that I’ll be able to make an objective selection of the ones worth hunting at.

As for the criteria that I’ve utilized to select the modest subset of each-block pictures that get uploaded to Flickr: there are three. First, I will upload any photo that I feel is &quotgreat,&quot and where I hope the reaction of my Flickr-pals will be, &quotI have no concept when or where that photo was taken, but it is actually a terrific picture!&quot

A second criterion has to do with place, and the third involves time. I am hoping that I will take some pictures that clearly say, &quotThis is New York!&quot to any person who appears at it. Certainly, certain landscape icons like the Empire State Creating or the Statue of Liberty would satisfy that criterion but I’m hoping that I will locate other, much more unexpected examples. I hope that I’ll be in a position to take some shots that will make a &quotlocal&quot viewer say, &quotWell, even if that’s not recognizable to an individual from an additional part of the country, or another element of the globe, I know that that’s New York!&quot And there may possibly be some photographs exactly where a &quotnon-nearby&quot viewer might say, &quotI had no notion that there was anyplace in New York City that was so exciting/stunning/ugly/spectacular.&quot

As for the sense of time: I remember wandering about my neighborhood in 2005, photographing a variety of shops, shops, restaurants, and business establishments — and then casually looking at the images about 5 years later, and being stunned by how significantly had changed. Little by little, retailer by store, day by day, things alter … and when you have been about as long as I have, it’s even far more incredible to go back and look at the photos you took thirty or forty years ago, and ask your self, &quotWas it actually like that back then? Seriously, did men and women really wear bell-bottom jeans?&quot

So, with the expectation that I will be searching at these every single-block photographs five or ten years from now (and possibly you will be, also), I am going to be undertaking my very best to capture scenes that convey the sense that they had been taken in the year 2013 … or at least sometime in the decade of the 2010’s (I have no concept what we’re calling this decade but). Or maybe they will just say to us, &quotThis is what it was like a dozen years following 9-11&quot.

Movie posters are a trivial instance of such a time-certain image I’ve currently taken a bunch, and I don’t know if I’ll eventually determine that they’re worth uploading. Women’s fashion/designs are yet another apparent instance of a time-specific phenomenon and even though I am undoubtedly not a style expert, I suspected that I will be capable to appear at some images ten years from now and mutter to myself, &quotDid we truly put on shirts like that? Did ladies truly wear those weird skirts that are short in the front, and extended in the back? Did absolutely everyone in New York have a tattoo?&quot

An additional instance: I am fascinated by the interactions that folks have with their cellphones out on the street. It appears that absolutely everyone has 1, which surely wasn’t true a decade ago and it appears that everyone walks down the street with their eyes and their complete conscious attention riveted on this tiny box-like gadget, utterly oblivious about something else that may possibly be going on (amongst other things, that tends to make it extremely straightforward for me to photograph them without having their even noticing, particularly if they’ve also got earphones so they can listen to music or carry on a telephone conversation). But I can not support wondering whether this type of social behavior will look bizarre a decade from now … particularly if our cellphones have turn into so miniaturized that they’re incorporated into the glasses we wear, or implanted straight into our eyeballs.

Oh, 1 last point: I’ve produced a customized Google Map to show the precise information of every day’s photo-stroll. I’ll be updating it each and every day, and the most recent component of my each-block journey will be marked in red, to differentiate it from all of the older segments of the journey, which will be shown in blue. You can see the map, and peek at it each day to see exactly where I’ve been, by clicking on this hyperlink

A sign of the occasions: new bike racks


Image by Ed Yourdon
This photo was taken at the southeast corner of 105th Street and Broadway.

This is a new style of bike-stand, which have begun appearing all more than Manhattan in the previous year or two.

They are deemed really controversial, but I can not keep in mind why. It’s most likely just a few old fuddy-duddies who never like them and in a few years, they will all be dead, and every person else will feel that bike-racks have often looked this way.

***************

This set of photographs is primarily based on a quite basic concept: stroll each block of Manhattan with a camera, and see what happens. To avoid missing something, stroll both sides of the street.

That is all there is to it …

Of course, if you wanted to be much more ambitious, you could also walk the streets of Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx. But that is more than I’m willing to commit to at this point, and I will leave the remaining boroughs of New York City to other, much more adventurous photographers.

Oh, actually, there’s one particular much more little detail: leave the photos alone for a month — unedited, untouched, and unviewed. By the time I actually concentrate on the 1st of these &quotevery-block&quot photos, I will have taken more than 8,000 images on the nearby streets of the Upper West Side — plus one more several thousand in Rome, Coney Island, and the a variety of spots in NYC exactly where I traditionally take pictures. So I never anticipate to be emotionally attached to any of the &quotevery-block&quot pictures, and hope that I will be able to make an objective choice of the ones worth looking at.

As for the criteria that I’ve utilised to pick the tiny subset of each and every-block photographs that get uploaded to Flickr: there are 3. 1st, I will upload any photo that I feel is &quotgreat,&quot and where I hope the reaction of my Flickr-close friends will be, &quotI have no concept when or exactly where that photo was taken, but it really is genuinely a terrific picture!&quot

A second criterion has to do with location, and the third entails time. I’m hoping that I’ll take some pictures that clearly say, &quotThis is New York!&quot to any individual who appears at it. Obviously, specific landscape icons like the Empire State Constructing or the Statue of Liberty would satisfy that criterion but I am hoping that I’ll find other, more unexpected examples. I hope that I’ll be in a position to take some shots that will make a &quotlocal&quot viewer say, &quotWell, even if that is not recognizable to somebody from yet another part of the nation, or yet another part of the world, I know that that is New York!&quot And there may well be some images exactly where a &quotnon-local&quot viewer may possibly say, &quotI had no thought that there was anyplace in New York City that was so fascinating/stunning/ugly/spectacular.&quot

As for the sense of time: I remember wandering around my neighborhood in 2005, photographing a variety of shops, retailers, restaurants, and organization establishments — and then casually seeking at the pictures about five years later, and becoming stunned by how considerably had changed. Little by tiny, shop by store, day by day, things alter … and when you have been around as long as I have, it really is even much more remarkable to go back and appear at the photographs you took thirty or forty years ago, and ask oneself, &quotWas it truly like that back then? Seriously, did folks really put on bell-bottom jeans?&quot

So, with the expectation that I will be searching at these each and every-block photographs five or ten years from now (and possibly you will be, also), I am going to be carrying out my best to capture scenes that convey the sense that they were taken in the year 2013 … or at least sometime in the decade of the 2010’s (I have no idea what we’re calling this decade however).

Did women really wear these weird skirts that are brief in the front, and long in the back? Did everybody in New York have a tattoo?&quot

Yet another example: I’m fascinated by the interactions that folks have with their cellphones out on the street. It seems that absolutely everyone has one, which undoubtedly wasn’t accurate a decade ago and it seems that everybody walks down the street with their eyes and their whole conscious focus riveted on this small box-like gadget, utterly oblivious about anything else that may be going on (among other issues, that makes it extremely effortless for me to photograph them with no their even noticing, especially if they’ve also got earphones so they can listen to music or carry on a phone conversation). But I can’t support questioning whether or not this kind of social behavior will look bizarre a decade from now … specifically if our cellphones have become so miniaturized that they are incorporated into the glasses we put on, or implanted straight into our eyeballs.

Oh, one final factor: I’ve designed a customized Google Map to show the precise information of every day’s photo-stroll. I’ll be updating it each and every day, and the most current portion of my each and every-block journey will be marked in red, to differentiate it from all of the older segments of the journey, which will be shown in blue.
