I am not sure if this man was practicing Buddhism meditation or some form of Yoga, but he was doing it in Union Square Park. Whatever he is doing there definitely seems to be a sense of order to the entire scene - everything is set up precisely and he seems to be unaffected by his surroundings.
I find it a little odd that he would choose to do this in the middle of a very public park, but perhaps he is making a statement, or a demonstration to onlookers.
He definitely exuded a sense of peace. It was pretty easy to take a picture of him.
I took the image with an Ansco Memar (from the 50s), one on which I
performed a minor diy restoration by bringing the shutter and focus back
to life from being stuck. The lens is all hazy which gives the images
an really flarey look.
