SUMMER THUNDER by CHRISTOPHER LANGE
I made this photograph last summer, standing on Vesey St. in Battery Park. The light had been incredible that afternoon, a mixture of hazy sun and dark skies. Eventually the clouds reached their breaking point and the torrent began.
The business day was coming to a close and all the suit-and-ties leaving work darted about like confused cats, hoping to stay dry at all costs. I constantly wiped the eyepiece of my viewfinder, which seemed to fog up again the instant I put my eye to it.
The water rushed over the curbs , ousting the businessmen from their hiding spot as another gust stole an umbrella. I shoved my camera inside my bag, stepped into the downpour from the cover of my awning, and walked to the corner of North End.
My shirt soaked through in the 20 seconds it took me to get there.

VIEW FROM THE PROMENADE - 6.9.2012 by CHRISTOPHER LANGE
I walked briskly along the promenade on a Saturday afternoon. It was humid, but the streaks of rain dotting my t-shirt helped keep me from melting into the pavement. The sun had been in and out all day, and later on in the evening, would turn the coast of Brooklyn into a sun-soaked idyllic paradise.
At this point in the day however, it was drizzling. I like shooting in light rain because it generally lends a particular quality to the light that I absolutely love in black and white. I was working quickly, and was sitting on the partition between the upper walk-way of the Promenade, and the highway decks about 16 feet below. I waited for maybe…three or four minutes before making an exposure, and yet another three before making this one. As it turns out, the first was absolute garbage, none of the bicycles were there, and the people were in all the wrong places.
I nailed it, in this one though, I think.
-Chris.
Ps. Notice the tiny sailboat in the upper left part of the image?
