At the South Street Seaport 5 x 10 in. |
|
In the photograph "At the Seaport" the atmosphere of quiet seems to predominate. But look! There is much activity. Living beings are going in all different directions, including the pigeon in the foreground. Even the A-frame has an animated, mischievous quality as if it doesn't intend to just stay where it is, and there is the twirl of steam rising mysteriously behind it. Then there is the woman in silhouette whose heel is lifted just high enough out of the shadow to make for a drama of geography, space, and a graceful leg.

Yankee Stadium 15 x 10.125 in. |
|
There is profundity in the expressions of these young men looking up with the radiant light on their faces. You could easily think they were in church instead of enjoying a ballgame at Yankee Stadium anxiously awaiting the result of a play that is taking place on the field. |

Crossing |
|
In "Crossing NY Harbor" we see the geography of NY. On the deck of the ship I was taken by those lively angles made by elbows, legs, and round hats on heads—all part of the people taking in something that is mysterious to us—the water below. |
