Shell Skeleton 3 comments
To me, the whorl of these shell interiors looked like the tip of a Neolithic whaling harpoon or the spike of a magical railroad. What does it remind you of?

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.

Frosty leaves Leave a comment
Captured these on a cold morning while walking our dog. I love how the frost gives everything a bit of additional texture, which stands out especially strong when the light is low during sunrise.

I’m very pleased to see that one of my photos has been turned into the cover for a song on SoundCloud.
Here’s the song cover, followed by the original, taken in Marin while walking through the old army installations surrounding San Francisco.
Thank you, Gabriele Margurno from Argentina!

Caught on the Friday afternoon train out of Grand Central Terminal in New York. Â I liked the contrast of posture and attire, yet they both evoke the same question:”Are we there yet?” as they wait to get to their destination and start their weekend.
