misspent

I was on my way to B&H Photo to pick up some new lenses for my Costa Rica trip when my bus got snared in massive traffic near Grand Central Station. There seemed to be people pouring down the street from Grand Central. 10 minutes later my bus made it one block further and I saw what was causing the commotion.

I got off the bus as soon as it got to the next stop and stood and stared for a while, just like everyone else. Then I realized that I had my camera around my neck, so I started shooting. The images were all to reminiscent of you-know-what, but it turned out to be a steam pipe explosion. See all my photos in my Flickr set.
