With Teeth

The Bronx has some tough teeth.

While I was walking to the four train I saw this building with smoke billowing out the top. I immediately started snapping because I was mostly curious about why there was so much smoke.

I usually don't use effects on my photos, but for some reason I really enjoy the vignette around the edges. I feel like its a "first-person-eye" opening slowly.

I also tinted this photo quite a bit to make the smoke a little darker. While I was walking, the weather was just so crummy and the entire street felt green. I can't really explain this, but sometimes in the city when its crummy out, the sky casts a strange glow over the people and everything has a green tint to it. Almost like its the year 3010 and the earth is slowly dying and changing color as the sun fades out. I know its not 3010, but in any case sometimes I feel like the Bronx is post-apocalyptic

  1. Mary Coyle, Mary Coyle, life is too short to be so "doom and gloom." You need to look at life with a bit more optimism.

    Get yourself a boyfriend. A puppy. Or do something. I mean, depressing.

  2. My apologies. I'm a comedian but sometimes my jokes fall flat. Your pictures are great.
