The Gathering Ground by Tetsuhiro UmemuraThe Gathering Ground by Tetsuhiro Umemura
This is Mount Osore, which is said to be the place where the dead gather. It is a very snowy place and can only be visited during the warmer months. It is also said that the concentration of sulfur in this area is so high that machinery will become unusable in a short period of time. I took this photo with an iPhone because LEICA is risky.

After walking about a half of a mile, and finally when reaching the end of this long tunnel I set up my camera and took a few photographs of this family walking out of it. At first the Silhouette did not come out like I wanted to, then I fixed my settings and after a few more clicks this is what it came up. It was complicated at first but then I got the trick. I am still working on getting good shots of Silhouette.
Junction by Keith GoldsteinJunction by Keith Goldstein
There is a junction of three streets near my home, Amsterdam Avenue, 162nd Street, and and St. Nicholas Avenue that I usually pass through on my photo walks. There are always interesting people and faces to photograph in this area. There is a subway stop and a small unnamed triangular park. This woman was hunched over her walker just outside of a bodega on one of the corners. I just liked the peaceful her face, contrary to the hustle all around her.
