6x6 magic

Forty Second Street and Broadway is always a place where something is happening." - Mike Peters

It's the first post of 2009 so let's start with some great photography. This is an image taken from a great photographic project by Mike Peters, a photographer who works for Montclair State University in Montclair, NJ, USA. I spotted this image on the B photography blog ( an excellent blog that's well worth a look folks) and instantly loved the framing and composition of the square frame.

Mike's website has several projects to view including the wonderfully gritty Times Square Gym - a serios of images taken in a boxing gym in central New York. Boxing gyms are a favourite haunt for photographers and sometimes the results can be rather predictable. Not so with Mike's images. The photographs have an intense intimate quality to them.
