Person Sitting Behind Blue Sign, 7th Avenue

Person Sitting Behind Blue Sign, 7th Avenue. New York, New York. August 19, 2010. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.

Night photograph of a person sitting behind a blue sign along 7th Avenue near Madison Square Garden on a summer evening in downtown New York. (original size)

On our last night in Manhattan we needed pizza - we bracketed our visit with New York pizza on the first and last night. (We had lots of great food in between, but that is perhaps a story for another post.) So we headed out of our hotel and up 7th Avenue near twilight. My son - who shoots old film cameras these days - and I grabbed our cameras to see what we could shoot. Keeping things simple, I just stuck a 50mm lens on my camera, cranked the ISO, and shot quickly as we moved through the crowds. Nearby there was a building with a "sign" that moved blue text up and down the front of a building and across part of the sidewalk. Sitting behind a section of the garish sign I saw this man sitting quietly.
