Original post on Monochromia.
Grand Central Station in New York City is a font of photo ops (though I wish tripod use was allowed!). Spending time there with fellow Monochromians Joe Giordano and Patti Fogarty was worlds of fun. And in the midst of all my “oohing” and “aahing,” I spied this couple posing for what I figured was engagement photos. Of course, I just had to get in on the action!
Fantastic work.

It was such a great fund day out Stacy with you and Joe! How good to see what you made of the action in this scene – wouldn’t you just love to see the official shots? I know I would!

I love Grand Central terminal. I wonder what the original Penn Station was like. Love this image, Stacy.

Thanks, Emilio! I definitely want to go back and spend more time there, inside and out. Joe mentioned that Penn Station used to be as beautiful as Grand Central. Hard to believe, given the hodgepodge it is today. I really don’t like traveling out of that station!

I used to commute from the island into Manhattan through Penn every day. I hated it!

I love Grand Central. It must indeed be full of wonderful opportunities for a photographer. I imagine it must be a bit stressful trying to get posed photos taken in such a bustling place. The still couple among all the movement is a nicely spotted capture.

Thanks, Laura! It was fun to watch the photographer and his lightman work. I wonder if this couple has a special tie to the station, like maybe they met there or maybe he proposed there. An iconic and creative setting for an engagement shoot. I was excited to have caught it 🙂
