My get pushed partner this week, Nancy, @nanderson, challenged me to the following: "Besides photography...if there was anything u would have liked to do in your life but it just wasn't the right time...depict what that would be...e.g., movie star..astronaut... And show why u in particular would have liked to do or be this..." Taking photography out of the picture at first made it hard, until I started thinking of what I might have liked to do instead of going into literacy education. Food critic! Writer! Movie critic! Travel specialist! But being in NYC gave me the chance to think about life as a theater critic -- seeing plays, interviewing participants, reviewing, writing, publishing in magazines, newspapers, blogs, etc. Junko and I scouted locations that would work to illustrate this. My choice of this image was because of the golden feel and the multiple shows.
Hi Taffy, yay I am so happy it was fun and challenging as well! I think u did a great job of depicting what else u "might" have liked to be :)! The colors...the lighting....and that perfect perspective..it is an awesome shot and very well done for the challenge..super job and fav for me!
Oh this is so awesome! I love movies.....one of my favorite things to do and feel I could have been a film critic as well. I go as often as I can. This is a really amazing capture ... the lighting and composition are wonderful. Perfect! (thank you for all your kinds words and support)
I believe 100% you have the talent,guts,& definitely brain to do this,Taffy-ur good in everythin' and respect u for that.You do write,blog,critic and communicate so well,maybe you can work for photo magazines:)
Oh, I love Broadway! I don't get to see shows nearly as often as I'd like. This photo makes me want to get tickets. Nice capture, and it definitely suits the challenge.
@busylady I loved Lion King, Judith! Amazing costumes! Thanks so much for your view and comment too. @timandelke Exactly, Elke--what a life that would be! @jodimuli Joey, what a sweet thing to say. Thanks so much!
Great depiction for your challenge (and a great challenge it was). I have not been to New York but I know I would love to experience the shows. This picture really shows off the opportunities available.
@kazlamont@kimshots Thanks Kazzy and Kim. It was a fun challenge trying to first figure out what area to depict and then how to do it. I suspect being in the middle of Times Square influenced my final decision.
@timandelke Exactly, Elke--what a life that would be!
@jodimuli Joey, what a sweet thing to say. Thanks so much!
