Memories of Pompeii, a photo from New York, Northeast

Photographer's Note

Whilst on a recent vist to NYC I visited lower Manhattan. I happened to approach a figure that appeared to be a man; but in reality was replica.

I was amazed at the detail of the figure and it dawned on me what relevance it had to this place.

Hi Don

Good mix of real and fake lives, but I would have cropped the top to avoid the get the car.

Hi Don,
This is one of your finest shots with regards to composition and light. The angle is there, but this time it feels more deliberate, less random. I love the random though I must say, and the chances you take with analogue gear.
I disagree a little with the above critique with regards to the crop, as too many of us take too much care in post with the ease of digital photography, I say keep them as they are, much like the easthetics of Daido Moriyama et al, it leaves something surprising, maybe even punk like in an increasingly clean world of photography.
Cheers
Justin
