PEPSI COLA SIGN, LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y., 3.12.11, 5:52 P.M.

Pepsi Final

Not to bore everyone with my personal and the chronological history of the Pepsi Cola sign again, you can read all about it in the previous post here, but suffice it to say, my original shot from the last year needed some extra oopmh. Many people have such an affinity for the sign that I was asked on numerous occasions for prints. Problem. It was shot with my newly bought iphone and not my trusty 8x10. Not everyone was pleased with the offer of a 1.6mb file print.  Option?, lets do it again for real. I trotted off to re-shoot only to find many factors working against me. No lights on the sign at Dusk, no lights on after midnight, no lights on at 5:30 A.M. So after checking the meta data on the phone from the original shot, for all the elements to come together, I realized would have to retrace my footsteps to a tee. Not my forte. But in serious photographer fashion, I waited another three months and sixteen days to return at the exact time and date as the original, one year later. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

Just when you thought it was safe.....

Do you ever think construction will ever stop in NYC?, naaah me neither. But you always feel sorry for the guy who's building is right next door to the new monstrosity right, well keep looking out your window because this could be happening to you sooner than you think.

NYC 3.24.07 7:12 a.m.


Got up Sat. morning and found a very strange light in my apartment. I was heading out on the road so I didn't really take notice at what was going on until I was ready to walk out the door, then I looked up. Couldn't get the big camera up and running so did the best I could with what I had. Nature is an awesome force and just when you think you've seen everything its got to offer its does this.
