I assume these two New York City Officers were there to keep an eye on the demonstration. However, the demonstration was orderly and very well behaved, so they didn’t have much to do other than watch.

I asked them if I could take their photograph, and they very kindly told me that I could. So, I took the picture and showed it to them on the rear screen. They seemed to be satisfied with it.

I liked the difference in their expressions. The officer on the left is smiling, while the one on the right seems to be trying to appear a little tougher.

A Man in a Bar

Not long ago I went into Manhattan to meet some friends/former colleagues for a drink. I arrived early and while waiting for my friends to arrive I noticed this man sitting at the bar, his head bowed over his beer.

You might think that this is just a picture of a sad, lonely old guy drowning his sorrows at the bar, but you’d be wrong. He was actually very animated. He seemed to be a friend of the bartender, and they had a fairly long and cheerful conversation while the man drank a single beer. After that he paid and left.

Just goes to show how photographs can, and do deceive even without AI and Photoshop.

I eventually got to Irvington Station and took the train back to Ossining. By this time, I guess I’d been walking for about two hours, my legs were aching, and my feet were hurting so I decided to stop at Here Coffee and Beer for a while. I took a few pictures of a few of the people who were also there.
