A couple more shadow and light plays from my recent travels around New York.

Everyone who visits must take a picture like this but it’s seemingly impossible not to when you havea camera in your hand and are confronted by the sight.

Bruce Davidson
A couple of weeks ago we went to see Portrait of a City: A Century of American Photography at the Dulwich Picture Gallery. This was a very broad look at American, mostly “street” photography, mostly in New York, with women atypically well represented. Loads of canonical work, ending in this room of striking dye-transfer prints of Bruce Davidson’s subway work. Frequent visitors to this site may remember that Davidson’s East 100th Street was the launching point for my project on East Harlem.

More work playing with the macro lens and the sunlight on and through plastic furniture.
The Artist
Another stop on our tour of Hove Artist Open Houses was the Paul Houlton Studio – he was displaying a lifetime’s worth of work in a variety of styles, capturing much of the 20th century in Western art. Some remarkable work.
