The Times they are a Changing - a photo on Flickriver

            Times Square, New York, New York.  Ignore the date, I think I must have reset the cameras calendar when I updated the firmware last week.  I don't think the X100 was even for sale in January!  THis was last night, Oct 23rd, and I had a few hours to kill after workt, so went roaming the Big Apple with my little range finder camera, just trying to capture the essence of THE city.  I loved the atmosphere.  While Ohio remains quite economically depressed, and literally and metaphorically boarded up in many places, NYC felt vibrant, and alive.  The Big Apple has been going in the right direction for years, with decreasing crime, vibrant diversity, a healthy churn of new businesses framed by some old leviathans, and an unapologetic passion for success.  All of this is coupled with a dry optimism that seemed to pervade the city yesterday.  I'm now back in Ohio, and hopefully not traveling for a while.  I'll be catching up with friends properly over the next few days.   

This one is for my friend Andre, who was also in NYC that night.  We didn't manage to meet up, but who knows, he may be in one of the crowd scenes I shot, or even in the mass of people here in Times Square :-)
