A woman wearing a striped outfit uses a cross walk in Manhattan.
This photograph comes from a long, looping walk in Manhattan. We were staying at an Upper West Side hotel last month, and there were good walking opportunities all around — Central Park a few blocks to the East, down Broadway and into that maelstrom of human activity a bit to the south, across the park and into the Upper East Side, walking along the waterfront on either side. On this walk we ended up near the UN Plaza, which is where I made this photograph.
Stuff happens quickly in the street, and I often have to simply react immediately using whatever lens is on the camera — taking too long to fiddle with lenses or frame the perfect shot and there’s a good chance the opportunity will be gone. I had just a few seconds to photograph this slightly unusual character in the long striped dress as she stepped out on the striped crosswalk.
