Take A Closer Look



Miriam Danar is an experienced street photographer who often enhances her work digitally, producing striking images, using a technique that I have not previously encountered. It is especially effective when added to images taken during or after a downpour.

The distorted light of New York street signs and neon lights shows a view of the city as seen through rain-covered glasses, the windows of taxis or otherworldly camera lenses.

The basic technique is relatively simple to master, as my first attempt at a 'Danargam' demonstrates, but a closer look at Miriam's work shows just how intricate the method can be, with each image taking hours of work to produce.

Please click on the picture links in the following posts to see the work at a greater magnification, where you will get a better understanding of the time and effort required to produce such work.

There is something about the crystalline beauty of light that supersedes the sheer commerce of it all; the ethereal quality of the light itself is something to behold. It merits a moment or two of reflection in the awesome that is Times Square.

On The Town - Times Square New York

This is Times Square, near the Great White Way, Broadway ... with its 24-hour neon signs, crowds of people, and the ever-present taxi. Not to mention the occasional policeman on horseback or guy dressed entirely in purple.

Times Square presents an endless source of inspiration, fun, and color amid the lights of Broadway.
