Created by photographer Frank Jansen, the Tuesday Photo Challenge is a weekly theme-based challenge for photographers of all kinds to share both new and old photography.
I don't have this in my profile but I’m an “INTJ”. This is based on this Myers-Briggs personality test that is generally quite accurate. I can’t say I disagree with the analysis as I've taken the personality test every year over a decade and the results are always the same. People are often quite impressed with the little analysis at the end! Remember to answer honestly, even if you don’t like the answer (no one will see!)
I have chosen to share the private link to my test results.
I saw some of the beautiful early blog posts for this weekly challenge and I knew I'd not find anything like those. No historic cobblestone lined city streets with centuries-old buildings. Up until recently, my town, Skillman, was rural. As the town grew in the last decade, the old roads widened just a bit while the amount of motor traffic increased. New roads were built for the homes of the new residents. While there are some beautiful country roads, the roads are narrow and there is no curbing to stop and park a car. Unless you like parking your car in a ditch. I don't.

So … while photographing another event I walked down Nassau Street in Princeton. I stopped a few times to grab some shots. The weather was great, sunny and cool with few clouds in the sky. People were out enjoying shopping and dining al fresco in the restaurants.
The desire to affirm that women are equal has made some scholars reluctant to show they are different, because differences can be used to justify unequal treatment and opportunity. Much as I understand and am in sympathy with those who wish there were no differences between women and men—only reparable social injustice—my research, others’ research, and my own and others’ experience tell me it simply isn’t so. There are gender differences in ways of speaking, and we need to identify and understand them. Without such understanding, we are doomed to blame others or ourselves—or the relationship)—for the otherwise mystifying and damaging effects of our contrasting conversational styles.
Remember that the camera itself is only half of what makes a camera good. How dedicated you are, how hard you work, and how many good and great pictures you get out of it are the other half. How much you use it is just as important as whatever it is.What makes a camera good
As humans we are naturally wired to focus on important things and filter out all the rest. Although such an approach has served us well over the ages, in creative seeing it’s a major obstacle. In addition, our education system and our daily routine push us to see and react in a certain way. Have you noticed when walking around the city how your brain filters out the noise and visuals? We usually stroll around town without challenging what we see or how we see it. In order to find “something interesting in an ordinary place,” you need to break your seeing patterns and go for something new, uncomfortable and different.A personal rant about street photography
Avoid letting yourself fall into the all-too-common kinds of comparative thinking that breed envy, self-doubt and other kinds of unproductive energy. Nip that shiz in the bud if you do feel yourself going down that road. Snuff it out before it take take root and steal your energy – and instead, use the power of comparative thinking to your advantage– turn it into positive energy and critical thinking about craft– that will fuel your progression as a creative professional. Compare your work to that of the best, and do it with unflinching honesty. Rinse and repeat.Chase Jarvis
This week, I went into New York City on a field trip along The High Line with professional photographer Frank Veronsky, who hosted the field trip for Princeton Photo Workshop. There were many familiar faces from previous New Jersey photo walks and field trips, including my friend Jack Batty. Frank's wife Jennifer Pierce accompanied the group.
The High Line is a park built on the abandoned rail lines that run from Hudson Yards out to 30th Street. There are trees and shrubs planted along the rail line with observation decks to view the streets below. I had a good view of buildings, restaurant courtyards, and rooftop apartments. On my first visit to The High Line I didn't know what to expect. My photographs from that visit tended to focus on photographing the park and the surrounding building. This was my second visit, and I knew a little more about what to expect and I think I focused more on people.
If this is street photography, then unless I am mistaken, this would be my first time doing it. I have, for the most part, kept to capturing landscapes and architecture. The High Line was filled with families and friends, walking, hanging out, shopping, and dining.
There were, of course, many people taking photographs of themselves.
Except for student photographer Gianluca Vasallo, who endeavoured to make free portraits of any passerby.
After the field trip, we gathered together at a nearby restaurant for food and company.
