Who cares about the bridge look at me :)
Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 31 October 2008 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.
Another NYC landmark, but this time bahbahra wanted to be in shot and the focus of attention of course
Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it
Getting ready for a work trip from the 29th so may not be able to check all your posts but will do as and when I can

Nice use of Bahbahra to showcase the bridge. :) Would have prefered it without the vignetting though :)

@Nicholas: Thanks for the critique, I got carried away with vignetting at one stage but am controlling myself now, this one was from when I was in the vignetting phase LOL

Bahbahra wants to be famous… Bahbahra wants to be star…
This is a nice shot. Specially with this DoF.

I like the interesting perspective, with Bahbahra in the foreground: it drives the eye towards the arch

You crack me up with these shots of Bahbahra! how many strange looks did you get while she was posing? What fun!

Thanks everyone for the comments, I have many more shots of Bahbahra so you may well get sick of seeing her before too long lOL

Having just recently been introduced to your work, this is the first time I have met bahbahra - love the name - reminds me of The Beach Boys, and this is a special shot - made me chuckle. You have yourself a great weekend.

He looks a bit uncomfortable but it would be better if he was looking at the camera :-)

Quite right, what's a bit of architecture compared to such cuddly cuteness. Neat shot

LOL that's a good one. interesting use of illusion and scale, DOF and humour at the same time. have a good weekend

@João Mourão: I can safely report she didnt jump, and is safely resting in my backpack
Will Williams from Bailey, United States
Looks like its balanced on a very precarious ledge there, careful!!
31 Oct 2008 9:07pm
@Will Williams: luckily Bahbahra has a magnetic personality, well she has a few magnets and thats how she stays there quite safely
Stephen Phillips from San Francisco, United States
Splendid concept JJ and well done.

Sweet Bahbahra in focus of attention, a nice idea and well done, JJ... also the bridge is beautifully captured with the blurred effect!

'Placement' items like this are an absolute hoot and this one is a real treat . . it has me wondering if you put that flag up there, too ?!

Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
This concept is a good idea. Makes me think to the french film "Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain" de JP Jeunet (5 oscars in 2002) where there is a story of dwarfs of garden (hope it's the good words...), who is taken in photo all around the world. Do you know it ?
31 Oct 2008 11:12pm
@Evelyne Dubos: I think I have heard of that movie, but dont think I ever saw it
Stéphane from Bruxelles, Belgium
Great idea for the composition of this picture and for the recurrent apparition of Bahbahra in your photoblog.

Is Bahbahra following you all the time? I know a guy who is taking pictures of his "mascot" in different places, at restaurants, when he is travelling... Very cool picture.
