under the canopy #186

I have been doing a series of photos

 i call

 under the canopy

 every week day morning

 at

 approximately

 7:10 a.m.

 some mornings

 a minute or two earlier 

some mornings 

a minute of two later

 i 

 stand

 as close to the same spot

 as possible

 for a long time

 i stood

 in

 exactly

 the same spot 

i knew

 this 

by a mark 

on the 

sidewalk

pavement

but

 for the last few months

 there's been construction

 encroaching

 on

 the sidewalk

on

the pavement

 i  had to move a bit 

to 

accommodate the narrower space

anyway 

i have been recording

 the comings

 and

 goings

 of 

people 

on this part of 42nd street 

for

186 days

 i took this one

 thursday morning

 7:08 a.m.

 they are taken quickly

to cover those less than fully focused 

 i doctor them

 with

 topaz labs simplify buz sim

 i like the painterly feeling

 maybe

 someday

i will pop over to blurb

 and

 make a book

 maybe

 maybe not 

edited to add: i post these shots every morning on instagram, i created a hashtag for them there: #underthecanopy
