Empire State & Bucket
I was down on 34th to buy ink for the 7800 (ugh - $750 worth of ink) and here was this shot. When you’re shooting sometimes you tap the nail in quickly - one shot - and then figure you’ll get a chance for another few taps but the bucket was moving, and although I tried moving to line it up again with the Empire State it never happened. So this is the first tap of the nail - so to speak.

I receive a lot of e-mails with similar sentiments - but there was something about this one that I thought was worth posting:
Mr Beckerman,
I would like to congratulate you for your talent. You know how to see things and people should pay more attention to what is around us just like you do. I know I have no experience and I am only 18 years old but I’m impressed by your work. I don’t know if you read your emails but thank you for bringing more beauty in this world.
Aida
