Something of an experiment – Feet in Manhattan (first version)

feet-1

I’d been walking around in Manhattan for some time and was starting to feel tired. My feet in were hurting so I sat down on a bench and as I was sitting there I noticed all the people walking by and thought it might be interesting to take some pictures of their feet – essentially anything I could get without getting up from my seat. This is the result.

Taken with a Fuji X-E3 and Fuji XF 18mm f2 R.

Couldn’t resist this one. This guy is not only not browsing on his phone, he’s actually reading a – gasp…book, a real life actual paper based book.

Union Square Park. Feeding the pigeons. Few phones in sight.

Folk music is alive in Union Square Park. I guess it’s too hard to play the guitar, sing and browse on your phone at the same time.
