New York City Photo: Times Square Ticket Seller
This New York City photo shows a ticket seller in Times Square, on 42nd Street. These fellows sell tickets to the double decker style tour buses that show tourists highlights of the city. They work on commission, and work hard. I was intrigued by how the light captured and isolated this one fellow, as if seemingly on stage. The light and color pulled my eye into this scene!

New York City Photo: Times Square, New York City
This New York City photo shows yet another view of Times Square in New York City. As a photographer, I am drawn to color first and foremost. It is inevitable therefore that the colors of Times Square will draw me in. However, I am now making a willful effort to seek out more organic locations in NYC for photography. Like the empty calories of fast food, I find Times Square emotionally unnourishing. It does not feed the soul in the way that landscape and nature photography does.
Times Square is the exposed, beating heart of modern culture. We are consumers. What an unpleasant word! Our lives are valued, defined, and driven by how much we consume. I find it rather ironic that a number of prominent investment and financial firms have surprisingly gaudy offices and advertising in Times Square. I suppose they are there for the same reason. To consume.
