The Chinatown neighborhood of Manhattan — a borough of New York City — is district with a large population of Chinese immigrants. Manhattan’s Chinatown is one of the largest Chinese communities outside of Asia. After an enormous growth spurt during the 1990s, it has been declining in recent years. Relocation of businesses and residents as a result of Sept. 11, 2001, and Manhattan’s rising high rent amidst bad economic times are to blame. A committee task force was introduced by NYC officials in 2009 to address this and other concerns plaguing Chinatown.

I took this shot last week in the photo studio at school. After editing it, it felt to me as a shot for some kind of brand of clothes or perfume. I first tried armani and versace but it just didn’t feel right… Then I tried this…

This woman was a bit overexcited. She yelled at everybody : no water, out of my way, give me some water NOW etc…
OK, she was the first woman in the whole race, but what a bad attitude !

Two men, in fact, two of my fellow students who were willing to pose for me and my camera ! Thanks guys ! As some of you might know, I’m following a course in portrait photography. It’s all about experimenting with different light setups. The ideas basically come from us, the teacher tells us how to improve our setup and get better results. This one was from last wednesday (fourth lesson) – not bad, is it ?

Well, I wanted to get a nice portrait this morning… Got of to a book market and a flower market, packed with my 50mm lens. Originally, I wanted to take portraits of people, but I realized that I didn’t have the courage to ask people if I could take their picture (kind of a problem, need to work on that !) – I ended up shooting this great dog (with permission of the owner). He clearly didn’t mind posing for me :-)

The second one – starring the youngest one : Femke !
This one and the previous one both taken with my 50mm f1.4 – I really should use that lens more often ! For all those still hesitating, you really NEED a good 50mm ! :-)
