New York Monday #92: Chalk Drawing

October 15, 2007 | Filed Under New York Monday 

 

A chalk drawing on the sidewalk.  It’s a good thing we haven’t had rain the past couple of days.  Although I heard talk of rain starting Wednesday or Thursday.  Here today, gone tomorrow.

Have a great week, all!

    There’s an artist - I don’t know his name - who draws three-dimensional images in chalk that are so realistic they look like you can step into them (I’m probably not describing them correctly). Nice that you got this photo, since, as you said, because of the weather and other factors, it will not exist for much longer. :neutral:

    Hi Christine: You’re welcome. My pleasure.

    Hi Kat: I think the artist is incredibly talented.

    Hi Mari: I don’t know the artist but I’ve seen pictures of the three-dimensional images. Incredible!

    Did you hold the camera above your head and point it downwards?
    I’ve had to do that for a similar reason as you - bit hit and miss - the beauty of digital photography is that you can take 10 photos to get the one you want!
    Take care, Ghone. :smile:

    Hi Ghone! Actually I had the camera around my neck but I held it at different angles and as you wrote, I had to take a million and one photos to get one decent photo. Next time, I’ll try holding the camera above my head. :razz: Nice to “see” you here.

    Paz, when we were kids, we’d see powder drawings all over the place - fine coloured powder within the outline, in different colours, v beautiful, and the passers-by would throw coins for the artist to keep - haven’t seen that in ages now, your post reminded me of this.

    Hi Sra: What a nice memory. Passers-by here also give money to the artist.
