A Quick Diversion

On the subject of "What I would never want to be when I grow up"

No it's not the over-weight guy on the left or the girl in tight shorts on the right...

It's the guy who plays the "human target" in this game on Coney Island.  For $3 you get five shots.  Yes, it's only paint, but it's the thought that counts.  And to be called a "freak" no less. 
I didn't see what they made him wear (I'm assuming it was a he).  I waited, but no one showed up to take a shot.  I should have been the first.  Hard to take photos and shoot at the same time though.

Please excuse the slight diversion...

A New Perspective

Trying something new. On a recent visit to New York City Kate and I took a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. - my first time doing so. With my trusty Canon G-9 I decided to take a time-lapsed video of my walk from Brooklyn to New York City. Walking slowly, trying to keep the camera steady and avoiding both pedestrians and bikers - it all wasn't as easy as it first seemed. Got yelled at by a biker; which was going so fast you can't see him in the video - I won't repeat here what he said (there might be some youngsters reading). As you can see I did keep within my boundaries - welcome to NYC...

Enjoy!!
