Gross, gloomy day outside, but I had to go out to Union Square, so I was able to grab a bunch of photos. Tough choice picking my favorite for today, but I went with this reflection photo. I like how it shows the Black Lives Matter street art and the NYPD car in the same frame. The runners up: This…
Location: Union Square Camera: Ricoh GR III Title: Crack Kills Other pics I took today that I considered: Glitter on the window sill. Taken with the iPhone. Converted to black and white.
