Pentax ESII, April 2012

Seen in Central Park, 15/4/2012. Pentax ESII, S-M-C Takumar 135mm f/3.5 lens, Kodak Ektar 100 film.

Statue in Central Park, New York City. From the official Central Park website: "During the mid-19th century, Thomas Ball sculpted a bust of Daniel Webster shortly before the Massachusetts senator died. His work was such a success that he made a statuette of the figure that went on to be patented and repeatedly replicated, one of the first mass-produced pieces in the United States. In the 1870s, Gordon W. Burnham requested that Ball make a larger-than-life-size version of the statue for Central Park. It proved too large for placement on the Mall as its donor intended and was subsequently installed on the West Drive." Pentax ESII, Kodak Ektar 100 film, one of my Takumar lenses, probably the SMC Takumar 55mm f/1.8.
