Forever 21 in NYC

Ahh yes, the Mecca of cheap couture comes to the Mall like environs of Times Square NYC. Two cool things about it:

1: they leave their doors open with the AC blasting out onto the hot city sidewalk....not very efficient...but a damn nice treat when walking past it..

2: they have the giant sign on the front of it with a 50ft woman talking Polaroid shots of people like these lovelies...looking up at the sign thats taking pictures of them....

I like this....I think it's sweet...

Nice when a friend or someone you know meets the person they were supposed to be with.

Makes you feel all fuzzy inside. Makes me kinda wonder what the hell is going on with my personal life.

But anyway..here's the pic.

Now, I'm not the best photographer in the world...I actually think I'm decent. But I've been recently going through some websites of *shoots* that honestly....well, they suck.

Technically they're horribly underexposed...Compositionally, they look like snap shots....Maybe that's the look they're going for, I dunno.

It was supposed to be for a fashion type thing for a young designer. Maybe they were going for that gritty, downtown, crap-chic that everybody likes, but honestly, don't you have to have a good image first.

I don't know if I could do better. But just looking at them...it just felt all wrong...

And I feel sorry for the designer who had to pay for it.

*shrug*

Too Cool for you....

The Boy's new profile pic....

Playa....

they sure grow quick.

I remember when the Boy could actually FIT into something this size. So does he. Apparently, he thinks he still can....

Good Luck...LOL

Digging the Sigmalux. I used to think it was front focusing, but now I'm thinking its my technique. That 1.4 DOF is RAZOR thin on a 5D.
