Gap Toothed Smile

New York City is all about the hustle. However, it can be a place where unusual, funny things can appear just about anyplace. You just have to keep your eyes open.

Oye Como Va Mural on 110th Street

It's fitting that a mural for world-famous musician Tito Puente is in Spanish Harlem. He was born and raised there. He was also Puerto Rican, which is the largest ethnic group in East Harlem.

I really enjoy the composition of this shot, with the pedestrian moving into Tito's left hand.

Park Bench at Thomas Jefferson Park

It was a cold day in East Harlem. I saw this bench and took a few shots in an attempt to capture the ring of circles extending into the horizon.

It's a simple image, yet it's become one of my most requested photo prints. People really enjoy it both in color as well as black-and-white.

Little Boys and Sojourner Truth

Sojourner Truth was formerly enslaved, then went on to become an abolitionist, women's rights advocate, as well as an active supporter of the Union Army during the Civil War. She wanted Black people to be free. So it makes me glad to see her mural, smiling down on Harlem's children.

Walking the Dog

The variety in this photo makes it an enjoyable one for me. I especially like how the dog is framed by the "V" formed by the man's legs.

Run Free

This is a mural by a UK based artist named Dreph. It's part of a series of murals done by a number of artists. They were completed in September of 2019 along 125th street in Harlem.

The humanity on display in this particular mural--the smile, along with the warm eyes--is making it a fast favorite of mine. Come to find out that the image isn't fictional. Dreph chose to capture a Harlem homeless resident named Country. What an amazing gesture.

Spread Your Wings

Street art by Jules Muck aka Muck Rock. This is on 13th street and Avenue A in Manhattan.

What I like about this photo is the interplay between dark and vibrant elements in the frame. On the left you have the mural, done in black-and-white with the butterflies adding a pop of color. It's a similar dynamic with the woman on the right. Her reddish-brown skin stands in contrast against her dark clothing. Coupled with the fact that the two main subjects are facing each other, these characteristics give the image a great sense of energy.

Good Doggos

I'm not a dog person, but I can appreciate why people like them.
