Photo of the Day: Heat Wave = Book

2006_08_heatwav.jpg

Whadya do if your visit to NYC is during a steamy week? Well, if you're Derek Powazek, you take some photographs, compile them and make a book, Apple Sweat: The 2006 Heat Wave from NYC Streets. The heat also changed Derek's shooting strategy: Wandering the city with my camera bag, I soon discovered that the tape was melting off my Holga and my huge digital SLR attracted unappreciative stares. It turns out NYC is a Lomo kinda town.

You can see some of the photographs here, and it all just makes us feel lucky that today is so nice.

If the linked pics are from the book, they're not very hot, as it were. That said, nor are they cool. True they might not be from the book he's trying to $ell. Still, that BBridge snap ... the one that "had to be done"? No it didn't.

If you didn't like the touristy snaps, GOOD NEWS! They're not in the book.

You can see the pics in the book here: http://flickr.com/photos/fraying/sets/72157594229732364/
