ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Photobloggers at The Gates 1: as an excuse to hang out with some new york city photobloggers who i talk with online but don't usually see in person, i've organized a few outings to take portraits of them while they're photographing The Gates in Central Park.Mike Epstein, of Satan's Laundromat, and I lucked out today, as our planned excursion got some snow last night. on top of seeing some lovely sights, i also got to catch up with Mike about his project of walking every street in new york city, an endeavor that should take him another year and a half or so to complete.
it's been a lovely project of my own to hang out with fellow photobloggers in the last week. a few more portraits from the series to come.

I really love the second photo, something about the 23rd composition and the contrast of the trees against the white background. Also the subtle ribbon of orange that are the gates. :)
This is the way I wanted to see the Gates, the snow and the orange gates are perfect. My favorite one is #4. I love your page.
Shot #7 is really well constructed -- it build marvelously on their verticality from the side. Very nicely done, Rion.
(Is it a Satan's Laundromat coincidence that the first three digits of the security image I see are "666"?)
like #7. receding line of trees intersected by the gates.
# 2 ii like alot.. the trees look like its holding up the snow .. but its the whiite clouds.. ; )
The second photo is very good, nice compostion. My favourite.
Beautiful photography. I love all, but the #2 and the #8 are marvellous!
May I do to you a suggestion? It's about the size of the character of the text: Verdana 7. The size of the character is too small and it is difficult to read.
i would have really loved to see those gates under snow. the contrast of the orange on white it excellent. good idea and great job.
gates schmates. mike's hat and bag are matching!!
I like number 8 the most! It looks rather weired, like an image from another world.
Would have loved to see the gates in nyc...
Looks like we just missed each other. Should have pinged all you NYC photolog people before coming East!
(Wow, character recognition in the comments)
~good to get out and meet other photobloggers, a great series on the Gates, keep 'em coming~
Photo 8 is cool but a little disturbing when I first saw it -- I thought it was some kind of accident scene. So glad it wasn't!
Truly Brilliant. I do like the way you see the world. Respect.
