I pass this gazebo every time I walk our dog through the woods of Vermont. Finally I’ve taken a picture of it that I like:

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.

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.

On a drive through rural Georgia, I felt transported back to the 1950s.

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.

The Spirit of Ecstasy 1 comment
On a walk through Brooklyn I found a parked Rolls Royce (yes, parked and unattended!) and had fun experimenting with some close-up photography of the hood ornament, called ‘Spirit of Ecstacy’ , designed in 1911. Here are a few of my favorite takes.

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.

Took a few shots on the main thoroughfare of Americus, GA, a small town 100 miles south of Atlanta, on a recent business trip there. Here’s the Windsor Hotel, a Victorian landmark:
The three-story lobby is gorgeous.

Waiting for a ray of sun to burst through the dark sky paid off, as I visited this landmark I never thought I’d see because it’s so far off the beaten path. Glad I finally saw the inspiration for ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’.
