Round and Round

The ice skating rink in Central Park last Saturday. I only had a drained battery with me and no idea how long it would last. I took a couple more pictures later on Times Square and that was it.
There are at least two more of those skating rinks in the city: one at the Rockefeller Center and one in Bryant Park, maybe I'll photograph them, too - hopefully with a charged battery.

This could make a good series

OK, after some experimenting I think I've found the way to go with those chess pictures. I have a series of portraits that I think are interesting together as long as they are processed in the same way. Instead of defacing chess players with wannabe-draganzing experiments, I'll go for candid black and white images. There is still a lot of adjustments involved, but I think I'm able to do this. Here is a first try.
