Nice stuff, Mike.  I like the Grand Central piece a lot.  The individual bits are all interesting, but the sum is greater than the parts.  Makes me nostalgic for Grand Central from the other side of the planet where I am now.  You have some other interesting work on your site as well.  Thanks for sharing it.

PS:  Was the vignetting and OOF stuff all in camera, or was some of it Final Cut?  You didn't mention any of the Grand Central stuff being shot with a LensBaby.  Some of the focus was variable in a way that didn't seem like depth of field.

thanks Colorwave. I did not use the lensbaby, the blur on the kissing shot  and the vignette was done in post. lenses used Nikon 75-150mm 3.5, Sigma 50mm 1.4 and Nikon 17-35mm 2.8.
