This is a wonderful image. I haven't spent much time on Park Avenue lately... you make me realize I should. As for your experience at the park... it is such a shame to think that recent world events are curtailing our ability to document. I was stopped last summer on the George Washington Bridge -- shooting with a 20mm lens. I'm not quite sure what anyone could do with details from such a wide-angle view... and it seems to me as though there are far more important things for enforcement to worry about.

I love these shots of yours in front of billboards. Did you have to wait long for this couple to come along? Nice work!

A Giant grabbing a couple on 5th Avenue in Manhattan I had the day off to get out and shoot a little. I took the train to 59th Street, stayed between 59th Street and 55th Street on Park Avenue for a while to photograph people (that's were the above shot was taken), and then walked all the way down to Brooklyn Bridge to go to the Empire Fulton Ferry Park to take some shots of "Movies with a view". That's an open air cinema under Brooklyn Bridge showing a different film every Thursday up to August 25. Nice view onto Manhattan of course. When I came there a park ranger approached me to ask what the purpose of my photos is. I asked him if it's some sort of a security concern because of the bridges. They don't really like people taking pictures of them. Before I was able to answer his question he told me that this has nothing to do with securtiy. But "since I am not in New York City anymore the rules are a little different." Stop here... What meand I am not in New York City anymore. I just went over the Brooklyn Bridge... He told me that I left NYC after crossing the border to the Empire Fulton Ferry Park because it's a State Park and therefore I am in New York State. If I want to photograph there for business purpose or to build up a Portfolio I have to get a permission first. He asked who will see these photographs beside me and I told him that my friends and family will see them probably. That was alright for him and for me as well since I didn't have to lie. All the visitors of my website are my friends... ;-) Anyway, I am really tired now, I don't really take the time to relaxe and am therefore looking forward to tomorrow. The Magnum staff will meet in front of the office to get on a Van and drive to the Hamptons. Thomas Hoepker (Magnum Photographer and at the moment president of Magnum Photos) lives there and invited the staff to come over for a day. Relaxing, hanging out on the lake, having fun... I am sure it will be a fun day. Posted by Martin Fuchs on July 21, 2005 11:47 PM
