Hester Street

Little Italy - Mulberry & Hester, NYC
Hester Street Playground - 'East' Chinatown, NYC

I posted these on my blog, and thought you'd like to see them here as well...

From the archive, some photos from an August 2004 visit to New York City. Like Marco Polo, I travelled from Little Italy to Chinatown, a wonderful, colorful journey.

Canon Digital Rebel. Photo of man sitting taken with the "kit" 18-55mm lens, and photo of boy on playground taken with Sigma 70-300 Marco II zoom.

Update: It just occurred to me that the gentleman sitting in the red chair is a dead ringer for former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir

I must really have Marco Polo on the brain.... that's 70-300 MACRO II zoom, not "Marco II" ;-)

Amazing, that guy DOES look like the Israeli PM! :)

I really like the colors and composition of the Chinatown shot. The yellow background emphasizes the opening that the boy is looking through, and nicely complements the rich green color of the wall. The colors and vertical stripes on the boy's shirt works well too. Good catch! Actually, you have almost the entire color spectrum represented here.
