New York and Boston : Panoramics

We just returned from a week on the east coast with Leanne's family. Its been a trip a few years in the making, fall colors, hustle of the city, and a chance to revisit the spot where we got married have been on our to-do list for some time. Leanne has a bunch of amazing photos to share too, but I thought I'd beat her to it by posting some of my panoramics.

These are just rough out-of-camera images, I usually "work" them a bit more in post, but decide to let the compositions speak for themselves this time. In a digital world where 5000 photos can fit in the camera for under $50, it is constant challenge for me (and other artists too I assume) to keep their vision focused and get exactly what they want out of a trip or photo session. I hope you guys dig some of them, please check out the full gallery on facebook to see more:

Under the arcade - south facing staircase - leading from lower central park, down to the Bethesda Terrace. There was a choir of about 5 children and a cellist playing something wagneresque that filled the arcade with haunting but beautiful sounds

Standing on one of the higher points in central park affords an amazing view of columbus circle, midtown manhattan. Look for Leanne rock-hopping on the left

Words cant express how amazing it was to walk the high line now that its been restructured as a park. It runs almost 3 miles through the westside, cutting through chelsea, hells kitchen, and the meat packing district. For more information and some wonderful photos of the old high line, visit the website and Joel Sternfelds project "walking the high line"
