Going Nowhere

Going nowhere...haven't gone anywhere for a long time!!! Just sitting on the cobblestones wasting away the day...

Palette

I've always wished that I had the natural talent to create an image from my imagination but alas, I'm not very creative. Photography is the closest I get with creativity. And this is as close as I get with a paintbrush!!! Swishes of the brush, a bright multitude of colors, and voila...images appear on paper, canvas, or even on a wall. A dash of paint becomes alive.....

Thick Soup

Very heavy fog one morning...perfect for shooting images down on the river! Sitting on the rocks and listening to the traffic on the Manhattan Bridge inching along the highway as the fog was so thick and it  was difficult to see very far in front of you. A peaceful morning to reflect on life...

Morning Reflection

Many mornings I would walk to this spot by the river to see what the image would be in the AM. It was always a different sight and on this morning, I enjoyed the reflection in the morning rains. I also really like the old trolley tracks and cobblestones. And the juxtaposition of the Brooklyn Bridge and skyscrapers tells a story of engineering feats. I really felt as if I was in another decade walking in history....a great way to start the day.

Archways

3 different archways...different lighting cast on each archway.. taken in the evening with no flash. I like the lighting and muted colors in this image. Archways make a wonderful entry to any place...a warm invitation.

Bold Colors

The blue umbrellas and the painted concrete caught my eye one morning as I was walking my grand dog!!! It had just finished raining and the sun came out lighting up the colors on this small plaza. The tables and chairs were not out yet and I liked the potted trees with the umbrellas inter dispersed. The red building helped to accentuate the FG colors nicely IMO.

An Apple a Day...

The juxtaposition of the apple and graffiti caught my eye as I was wandering some streets one day. I found it an odd pair yet I also felt that I was looking at someone's purposeful piece of artwork. I like the loader's platform that leans against the rough wall and if you look closely, there's a "bite" taken out out of the platform on the right...like a bite out of an apple. An intentional placement of the apple???!!! And the touch of graffiti for me adds an another element of art. I was enrapt with the image.
