Driveway and Brick Homes. New York, New York. August 24, 2011. © Copyright 2011 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
Black and white photograph of a concrete driveway between tightly-spaced brick homes, New York City.
I’m actually not precisely sure where in Manhattan this scene is any more. We were walking somewhere towards Chelsea when we passed through a little neighborhood of brick homes, and I just happened to notice this little scene as we walked past. Aside from plastic trash receptacles with plastic liners and the air conditioners, I don’t think there is much in this scene to date it, which is one of the reasons that I chose to go with a black and white rendition.

Thanks, David. I actually made two exposures of this scene, moving perhaps a couple of feet between the two – and that small move made all the difference in the world. At some point I want to share a post a that includes both of them and discusses what made me chose this one.

I like the big square and boxy shapes, but with the delicate curved railing.
