Night photography in NYC
November 30th, 2011
Inverted Roots, Central Park NYC by Mike Mariano
New York this time of the year is perfect for night photography. The weather is perfect, not too cold, not too hot. But don’t be deceived by the above photo and the fall season. Climate change has certainly played its hand when i decided to hook-up with fellow photographers from the Night Photography aka Night Magicians of meetup.com and shoot at the Great Lawn of Central Park.

PDN Photoplus 2011 + October Snowstorm

October Snowstorm at NYC; photo by Michael mariano
This past Halloween weekend i was ‘fortunate’ enough to be able to encounter two massive events in one shot. First was the expected storm that hit NYC. And the other one was the PDN Photoplus exposition. I have not experienced any of the said events. The first event was definitely a significant as the snowstorm (1.3in central park) broke a record set on October 1925 (0.8in central park) for measurable snow. It was indeed a weird experience having to brave the storm walking from the 34th st. and 8th ave. E train station all the way to Javitz for PDN even before December struck.
