March 5 & 6 photos of the day

Whoops, yesterday just slipped right by!  So today you’ll be entertained with not one, but two photos.

Aren’t you excited?

The first is cheating, really.  (Maybe I could do a blog post titled “Cheating your way to great photos”!)   Anytime Ben and Wally are featured in a photo, it’s going to be cute.   But I didn’t feel like working hard for the perfect shot yesterday, so I went with the path of least resistance.

And here it is:

Today’s photo was a different story.   Thursday is my “trip to the East Side” day, because that is where the Pilates studio in which I work out is located.   I took my camera and forced myself to take some shots while walking to the subway and while waiting for the train in Grand Central.   Sometimes taking photos is like working out; you don’t really feel like doing it and it’s best to warm up first.   The first 20 shots or so were one big snooze.

But then I was walking through the station at 51st & Lex and happened to glance up as I passed one of the glass encased stairwells.  ”Now that’s a nice shot,”  was the thought that went through my head, but as I was running late to class, I didn’t stop.

Luckily, I also didn’t forget.

After class I stopped to get a coffee.   This was not a bright move, considering that I already had my hands full with my gym bag, regular purse and camera.  Which meant that when I walked back into the subway station, I wedged the coffee between my left elbow and my rib cage so that I could hold the camera in my right hand and awkwardly manipulate the zoom with my left while doing my best to keep the coffee upright against my side.    Not the optimal way to take a photo, but I have also noticed that sometimes the best shots are not those that took the longest to set up.

I love this photo, mostly because I walk through that subway station twice every week and this is the first time I ever thought to look up.
