Unexpected Recognition

I feel very proud that Gothamist decided to feature

 

in its summary of last week's events.  I grabbed the shot just as a storm gathered over Manhattan's Lower West Side and, other than cropping, it required little enhancement.

I'm glad that I've been able to maintain my interest in photography by using a digital camera and a resource like flickr. Having this shot recognized reminds me of the pride I felt when my entries received honors at Jewish Center Youth competitions and in the Scholastic Art Awards.
