This was an impromptu snowball fight in Times Square around 1AM in the midst of the blizzard Saturday night. The real danger wasn’t the snow and subsequent moisture destroying my gear. No, the real danger was shooting the mayhem with a wide lens which meant that I was a prime target. I had to put the gear down several times for some payback.
Note: due to demand, prints can be purchased now at SmugMug. For higher end archival prints, please email me directly. Happy holidays everyone!

Fabulous pictures of a fabulous event! We are all kids at heart and the photographer has captured that nicely.
Those photos are fantastic -- really love them! A friend of mine lives in NYC, and she said one of her best memories of being there was just after a big snow storm a few years ago. She walked down the middle of Broadway in Times Sq. with her dog ... in utter silence.
at least the cops did not break this snow ball fun up with their guns drawn! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8424836.stm
If only for a moment humanity sheads the cloak of idiocy that is adulthood and exposes the elemental heart of the playful and innocent child that exists at the core of us all. Behold, if only for a moment, heaven existed in Times Square.
This looks like so much fun. Amazing pictures. Its like time stopped at busy TimeSquare so everyone played.
New Yorkers just wanna have fun...
