Bryant Park Holiday cards with my photograph of 2 chairs in the park

I love Bryant Park in every season. I love it most in spring when daffodils blooming and everything around smells new life.
But I like it in the winter not less. It's just different. You could feel more attached to the place when less people around you. For me it's more calm, lonely there in the winter.

And I am a little bit proud that I was able to capture that feeling and the beauty of the park in a photograph which were chosen by Bryant Park Corporation for their annual Holiday Cards.
I believe it's quite compelling example of street-life photography. A silent dialog of 2 chairs that left behind... Ghosts of people passed by some time ago... They are together and they are alone, conscious and abandoned...

You may see more of my street-life photography of New York on my web-site and there are some documentary photography, photo stories and series as well.

TED CORBITT 24 HOUR RUN

Today exactly at 10am finished Ted Corbitt 24-hour Race. It is hard to describe in words the spirit of that kind of run. 66 runners from around the country (and even from Canada). All ages up to 72!
Here is an announcment of the race. And an interview with Ted.
The run took place in my neighbourhood's park - Juniper Valley Park. And those guys demonstrated unbelievable will-power and were running through night and rain.
I hardly can imagine that I could walk 24 hours without having a decent rest, not to say to run non-stop. But they did it. Best results are about 124 miles during a day and night run! That was a honoured win!





And here is the winner :)
