[Leica] Times Square - Part 1

[r.s.taylor at comcast.net (Richard S. Taylor)]

Well, actually, Duffy Square, but only a New Yorker would know that. 
Duffy Square is the other large traffic island to the North of Times 
Square formed where Broadway crosses 7th Avenue.  It's named for 
Father Patrick Duffy, a soldier-priest who ministered to the Times 
Square area after the First World War.

Looking toward Times Square.  It was the first really warm day of 
Spring and the crowds were out, but it was still possible to find 
oases of relative calm.

And, finally, the Hershey Building, a throwback to the 50's.   The 
cup of cocoa steams and some of the signs twirl but no giant flashing 
plasma screens, here - nice.

The first three are presented essentially as they came out of the 
camera.  The last one was perspective corrected in PS since I and to 
tilt the camera back to image the entire set of signs.

M7 15mm Heliar Fuji Press 400.

I shot four rolls while I was in the Square, so more to come later in 
the week.  The next set will focus on people.

Enjoy.  Comments encouraged as always.  Thanks.
