I continue with samples of images I rejected from my Urban Exoticism contest submission.

Woman with Dog and Admirers

Duane Hanson, 1977

The woman sitting and the dog are sculptures; everyone else was real, I think.

Night Moves

2 second exposure with the camera resting on a banister.

Oddly, I could find no indication on any of the Whitney’s outdoor rooftop art as to whose work it was or what the titles of the pieces were. Nor did a review of their web site turn up anything useful. So I have named this one myself. Apologies to the sculptor.

Plus ça Change, Plus ça la Même Chose

Went to the Whitney Museum to see the Danny Lyons exhibit. This is an incredible body of work and I recommend it strongly to anyone with an interest in powerful documentary photography – Danny Lyons is the photographer I wish I could have been.

The show begins with his pictures of the Civil Rights struggles of the ’60s and unfortunately I felt like his photographs, above, could almost have been taken today – hence my morose post title.
