When I took this photo on my recent trip to New York, I had the top photo in mind. Cropped it to get the panorama effect.

Have started to print a few photos from the recent trip to New York (*) and have put them on the floor to look at and shuffle around. These two seem to talk to each other in way I had not connected until printing them.

The intersection photo is one of my favourites and it reminds me of Trent Parke's (*) famous intersection photo (*).

Fun to start relating the photos like this and will put a few more here.

Alice in Wonderland - Central Park / New York (Apr 1994/Aug 2011)

The above was taken on a disposable panorama format (*) 35mm Kodak camera on my last trip to New York way back in 1994.

Made sure to photograph 'Alice' on my next trip to New York, 17 years later using my little Canon S95 digital camera. Who would have thought 17 years ago that cameras would record photographs in bits and bytes and stored electronically, rather than film.

Alice in Wonderland - Central Park / New York (Mon 15 Aug 2011)
Lots of things have changed in New York and our lives, but some things will always remain the same. These two photos taken 17 years apart are proof of this for sure.

I wonder what future holds for us, particularly with regard to technology. I remember reading a computer magazine on my return flight back to Sydney in 1994, where I read for the first time about and Internet web browser called Mosaic (*), Netscape's predecessor. At the time I was a member of Compuserve, but had never ventured onto the Internet and the world wide web.

I hope it is not another 17 years before I get back New York.
