The Lonlyness of the Long Distance Runner


After I finished photographing the skaters on the pond, I was walking back to my car, when I saw this guy in the bright red jacket walking along the sidewalk, heading away from me.  I kept walking and then thought WAIT!  I turned around and started running toward him, but by the time I could see the sidewalk, it was empty!  Oh no!  Then I stepped around the trees and discovered that he was walking in the street.  Whew!  So a snapped off a bunch of pictures as he walked away.  I chose this one.  Without the red jacket, this would not be interesting at all.

    Love both this shot and the skaters on Scudders Pond from the previous day. Guy in red jacket is important but I love this particular angle of short road and the curved view of the sycamores. Awesome !!

    I also like the curved shape of the trees along the road. The red jacket "jumps" out. bsk

    Thank you all for your comments! This curve of the road, and the Sycamore trees is one of my all time favorite spots to find a photo.

    That looks like your red jacket the coat check lost at the Javits Center.

    I think that it is! I should have chased the guy, instead of taking his photograph!
