Chip off the Old Block

New York, NY- July, 2014

Back in the day, I had a reputation for doing anything to get a shot.  Up early to get sunrises, delay dinner to get sunsets, swarms of bugs.  Stepped in some cow manure (in my defense it looked like a large stone) in a pasture in Vermont.  When I spotted this shot along Manhattan's High Line, I liked the look even if it was a little far away.   Being the High Line it isn't really conducive to jumping off to get a close up.

Unless you are Kerry, who is considerably more agile than I am these days.  He felt the shot was worth the trip down the High Line and over the West Side Highway

Note the typical Kerry angle.  

I no longer feel the need to do anything for the shot.  That's why I have a telephoto lens.
