Light and Shadow

I was looking on the internet at various photographers' blogs, and I came accross Dave Beckerman. I spent this summer in New York City, so I thought some of these photos were interesting.

I like this picture for a few reasons. It is a great example of light and shadow for one. I love how the sunlight is peaking through the trees and spotting the ground. The horses are probably enjoying a long awaited rest under the shade. This picture actually makes the horses and carriages look beautiful, when in reality they are not very well taken care of and pretty unhealthy looking. This photograph captures what I think to be the symbolism in the horse drawn carriages in New York City. It is what every tourist and visitor alike envisions when they think of Central Park in New York City. He captures this sort of idealic idea in this picture.

I like this photograph because of the blurry lights that are along the street. New York is so alive at night but something about this picture is still relatively serene. I also love that you can see the clouds in the sky even though it is evening. It must have been a very clear night.

I think this picture is so cool. He took this in Central Park too. The puddle is reflecting everything: the trees and the benches. It looks so beautiful.
