Madison Square Park
It is dark, near 7 pm. As I walk home to Penn Station, I decide to take one more photo. I lower the ISO, keeping exposure good, which essentially lengthens the duration of the capture. Ideally, a picture like this should be on tripod, to prevent substantial hand shake. But here, the clean curving lines of traffic light motion contrast in an interesting way to the curly swiggles of handheld blur. I love the upper thick blue line, which represents the ghost of a passing bus. It is good to experiment, to push the limits, and to attempt to forward the creative process. /New York
