The frosted forests of Vermont would have made the perfect setting for the ice princess in the Chronicles of Narnia.

…otherwise he would have dropped his universe right on top of me (I know, bad pun. And I haven’t even read the book). This is a sculpture in front of Rockefeller Center in New York City.

I shot these while walking our dog on a crisp morning. Even in black&white, nature is gorgeous:

Even in the cold, wet weather, the local beach provides some good photo opportunities – you just have to get close to your subject.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Reflections 2 comments
I was inspired by The Strobist, a great blog about lighting that I recently discovered, to try some of my own lighting experiments. Ingredients: Objects in my house (shell found on the beach today, an antique spur from a flea market in Buenos Aires, and a Buddha head I picked up in Taiwan), a piece of glass, a sheet of white paper, a sheet of black paper, and two lights. And my camera, with a macro lens. And 2 hours to spare.
Times Square Memories (part 3) 1 comment
Despite the cold weather, Times Square is teeming with tourists during the holiday season. These pictures are part of an ongoing project I’m having fun with: all the various ways people memorialize their visit to New York, and to Times Square specifically. The full series is in a gallery on my photography site.

Forest Oddities Leave a comment
Only in the fall, when all the leaves are down, do you start noticing some of the other, equally beautiful things of the forest: mushrooms, bark, fungi.
Georgia Country Roads 2 comments
On a drive through rural Georgia, I felt transported back to the 1950s.
I loved this old vault in a Wells Fargo Branch in Americus:
I only captured the service station part of this establishment. I’ll leave the grocery store to your imagination:

Vermont Colors – Day 4: Black and White 3 comments
After the overdose of vibrant colors my eyes were subjected to during the first few days in Vermont, I decided to take a break from the colors. Instead, I focused on textures and contrasts to come up with some black & white photographs:

Man’s Best Friend 11 comments
Well, at least THIS man’s best friend. Caught this man and his dog while walking through Brooklyn – both were completely content sitting on the doorstep of their house and pursing their favorite activity – reading and people watching.

Bridges of Brooklyn 7 comments
On a recent walk through Brooklyn’s DUMBO district (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass), I found lots of interesting views of both the Brooklyn Bridge as well as the Williamsburg Bridge. The district is New York’s 90th historic district.

New York’s Finest is also New York’s Nicest 3 comments
Who would have thought that the New York Police Department has time for photo opportunities? But they do, and they endure the onslaught of tourists in Times Square gracefully. This is a continuation of my Times Square series I started a few weeks ago.

I found these moments of vacation snapshots more interesting than the actual splendor (or squalor, depending on your point of view) of Times Square. Check out the first post in this series.

Looking up in New York never gets tiring, even though most New Yorkers don’t. That’s how you can tell who is a tourist and who is not. I still look up all the time.
