MoMA is one big playground for a photographer. Continuing my series of observations using my trusty vintage Olympic Trip. Depicted is “Navedenga” by Ernesto Neto – Polyamide stretch fabric, sand, Styrofoam, cloves, cord, and ribbon. Two people at one time can go inside this work of art and explore. The Museum of Modern Art, New York.

No snow yet in New York City, so I’m continuing with another Trip 35 low-light shot, this time taken at MoMA.

Into the Bowels of Manhattan

Taking a break from my snow in Central Park shots until maybe the next storm, which might hit the city tonight. In the mean time I’m continuing to explore the possibilities of low-light photography with the Olympus Trip 35 set on manual at f2.8, which causes it to fire at 1/40 sec – perfect for low light using 400 ISO film.
This was shot while riding down the escalator at the 53rd S. & Lexington Avenue subway station in New York City.

Three Cold Bears

There is more snow in the forecast for New York City this weekend, but in the meantime I like to post a shot taken last week with the legendary but simple Olympus Trip 35 with the sharp Zuiko 40mm f2.8 lens, on Fuji Superia 400 film and converted to BW with a Photoshop plug-in.
This bronze sculpture by Paul Manship depicts a group of three bears on a circular stepped pedestal. Located at the Pat Hoffman Friedman Playground at Fifth Avenue and 79th Street, the piece was a gift from Samuel N. Friedman in memory of his wife, Pat. The piece was cast in 1960 and unveiled on October 11, 1990 at the playground dedication.

The little Olympus Stylus Epic weatherproof 35mm film camera proved to be a wonderful asset during this snow storm in Central Park, New York City. Here is another of the shots I took on Fuji Superia.
