Times Square Glow

Times Square Glow – New York, New York I made dedicated solo visits to Times Square and even blogged about it at the end of August. Those photos were in black and white, shot with the Leica M Monochrom. Today’s is a bit different, not only because it’s in color, but also because of the way I made the picture. My wife and I were experiencing some of the Times Square magic at night after our Broadway show. Times Square can be exciting in the daytime too, but I think it comes alive at night with the neon and giant LED panels that almost turn night into day. Because I was with my wife, I shot pictures quickly and serendipitously. The Leica M is perfect for slow, deliberate photography. The kind I experience when I shoot alone. Here, fast autofocus is a must. With layers of people and buildings and the glow of LEDs in the distance, the picture feels very much of the place.
