Christmas is over

During my stay in Manhattan over Christmas and New Year I decided to take a series of images of abandoned Christmas trees on the roadside. I used my LX (loaded with Delta 100), my new FED2 (loaded with Kodak BW400CN), my Lubitel 2 (loaded with HP5+) and my K20D (loaded with an eight gig memory card).

Here are a few of the ones shot on my LX. Some of the others can be found in my Flickr photostream.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Love every one of them, fantastic mono, they all come to life, mono full of contrast and vibrancy. I guess all the references are to types of film? You didn't ask for C&C, which I am not qualified to offer anyway.

One of the advantages of having married a New Yorker.

Not all at the same time! The shots were taken on different days.

No 2 - The blur of the bus in the bg with the diagonal of the tree in front make it. Good spotting and timing.
