A biz trip to Cincinnati gave me a chance to see a bit of the city:




A biz trip to Cincinnati gave me a chance to see a bit of the city:
Captured during a business trip to Chicago:
Captured during a one-day business trip to Philadelphia. Not much time for photography except while waiting for my train at beautiful 30th Street Station:
A 1-day business trip to Los Angeles didn’t leave much room for photography, except for a few shots of downtown:
New office building in DC – I get dizzy looking at it.
Even a mundane hallway feels artsy at the Renwick Gallery in Washington DC.
Or you might miss sight like these window washers high above K Street in DC.

Scenes of Fishtown (Philadelphia). These two had a vigorous conversation as I walked by:
Waiting at the SEPTA Metro stop:
Driving under the Metro:
Next to the Metro:

Found this record store in Falls Church, VA. It reminded me of the store described in Nick Hornby’s ‘High Fidelity.’
Captured on my commute this evening:
Just about the only attractions worth photographing while driving on I-95 in Delaware.
Sign of the booming economy in the DC area. I was struck by the angles of this view of a construction site in McLean, VA.

Grocery shopping, 150 years ago. I can only imagine what wonderful sounds that old cash register made when used (see last pic).

This band was playing (badly out of tune) Dixieland Jazz in an old-fashioned theatre in Virginia City, an old mining town in Montana:

Found on new construction in New Haven. I loved the symmetry of the meters and their shadows.

I liked the colors in this picture of a pedestrian bridge near Penn Station in New York:

Captured at South of the Border truck stop. Sad that these rides were decommissioned, I’m sure at some point kids LOVED to stop here to enjoy the rides while parents got a break from the incessant ‘are we there yet?’ from the backseat. Click on any pic to see them in their full glory (i.e. slideshow format).
Stopping at South of the Border (between N. Carolina and S. Carolina on I-95) is like a trip back in time. This giant truck stop is definitely a 50’s throwback! Click on any pic to see them all in slideshow format. I especially liked the restaurant shaped like a sombrero.
Found this fortune-telling machine (and scale) in Selma, NC:

Squint a little and see how the shadows turn into stairs (or maybe you see something entirely different?). Â I enjoyed the angles and the play of light and shadows on a recent walk through New York.
Found this abandoned gas station in Enfield, NC. Click on any picture to see them in slideshow format.

2 views of Whitaker, NC (along route 310). This bank clearly has been closed for a while:
And this house hasn’t been occupied in a while, either:

From a recent stroll through Manhattan.
This mannequin looked like she wished to be outside:
I liked the various angles in this picture:

Walking the dog at the same early, but now darker, time (6:30), and during a recent snowfall, provided new perspectives:

Near Wall Street in lower Manhattan, a few buildings remind us of how it looked in the early days before skyscrapers took over the island. The second be looks like a precursor of the Flatiron Building to me.

Captured this factory in New Haven while crossing the Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge:

Loved the juxtaposition of the old and new, and how the buildings seamlessly connected visually.

So many streets in Paris feature buildings that seem to lean against each other, each one at a different angle.
Are its beautiful cemeteries. Recently I visited two: cimetière Montparnasse and cimetière Montmartre. Click on any photo to see them in slide show format.
Yes, just about everyone knows these and they’ve been photographed from all possible angles – but when you’re in Paris it’s hard NOT to take pictures of some of the icons that make this city so lovely and unique:
On a recent trip to Paris, I strolled through several of the beautiful covered shopping arcades that were built in the early 1800’s. Click on any picture to see them in slide show format.
I was inspired by this lovely post on a blog I follow, which has great insider tips about Paris. Thanks Theodora!
