Ed, You really captured the feel of New York Streets- I miss the chestnuts! An oversized B&H bag?? Sounds like an early holiday gift!!

Hey Ed,
You bring back many,many fond memories...Love it...This is a high class lunch...in The Big Apple...;) so what happened to the hot dogs? Thanks for sharing...:cool:

Never had the pleasure of experiencing NYC but I can smell those chestnuts and pretzels all the way to Missouri! Oh my goodness!!!

[Alfred Forns]

Your making me hungry Ed !!! ... I can smell it !!

Nice layering on the food. This shot reminds me of wintertime in NYC.

Trying to make us fat?

The pretzel bagels and the knishes needed some fill flash. Moving to your left might have eliminated the white lane markers or made them less obtrusive. Thanks for the memories.

OK....tell us.....what's in the B&H Bag?

Nothing terribly exciting. On the premise that one can never have enough bags (or at least never have the right one!), I bought a Tamrac Velocity 8 Sling Bag so I have a bag for when I want to tote a body with a 70-200 2.8 attached and a 24-70 2.8 on the side. My other bags were either too small or too big. This one is just right!

And Roman will be pleased to know that I also bought a 3-stop graduated neutral density filter (a Lee) along with a Cokin P holder and adapter ring.

Stuff like that.
