My NYC Photos 2005 - 2006

Changing the photos to grayscale is all automatically done... literally all I do is select "Grayscale", and Photoshop converts the image for me. Here is a screenshot...

That's rather disappointing.

It's a time-saver... this way, all the images have the same settings, only they are in black and white... otherwise, if I went into each photo, and adjusted the individual settings, the results would look inconsistent, and strange.

That's why God invented scripting.

If you wanted a more "old timey" feel, you could simply blur it a couple times.

Well, I can also do sepia tone, as well as any number of special photo filters, including blurs, but I prefer grayscale for NYC.

Here are 5 more, starting with the cathedral of Saint John the Divine...

Another 5 later!

Monk's !

Yep... Tom's actually, lol... on the Upper West Side, just down the street from the cathedral. It's a great place... very different on the inside, but the Seinfeld cast's signed autographs are everywhere on the walls. It's actually a family-owned place... Greek people own it, and the grandpa is the guy who greets you and who works as cashier.

I just saw that cathedral in Little Nicky the other day.

Those photos look really cool. I admit, though, I keep wondering where Rod Serling is.

Also, have you ever been to Katz's?

 

[BolianAuthor]

^

Thanks. Here are 5 more, a bit early...

More to come!

And no, I have not yet been to Katz's.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ Pity. I wondered what it would look like in a photo as you take them. You could always go there and take some, you know.

To me, the Chrysler building was always more iconic (and cooler) than the Empire State building or the WTC.

Here are some more...

More later!
