Clint's Chair

Clint Eastwood's chair in Brooklyn !!! There's a small plaza near the waterfront in DUMBO district where the pavement is painted and people gather to enjoy the afternoon with drink and eats. Saw this chair set by the "eye" and thought of Clint! Whose eye is it...Eastwood, Romney or Obama?!

Manhattan Bridge

Late afternoon in Brooklyn Bridge Park...dreary, gritty, cold wintry day. The Manhattan Bridge is one of 2 bridges that crosses over to Brooklyn. It's not as "popular" to shoot this one as opposed to the infamous Brooklyn Bridge. Nevertheless, I like shooting the Manhattan Bridge. I like the "expansive" feel to it and the shades of the bridge vary from blues to greys depending on the sunlight or overcast day.

Two Seasons

The two seasons of summer and fall merge to create a "Xmas-y" mood for me. The little asters remind me of snowflakes and the leaf looks like a star...thus, Xmas. Hmm? Anyway, I like the simpicity of this image.

Headlight

The headlight on this old truck caught my eye with the reflection of the sky, trees and sun. I also liked how the headlight is attached to the truck, more like a beacon than a headlight. Rusted trucks are always fun to photograph. :):):)

Alone

My safe haven for the summer is over...leaves have fallen, mist and fog descend. I am left in the cold, alone. A bleak, dreary day...winter is creeping in and I will wait for next spring when I can return to my haven for another season.

Daily Grind

When I was a little girl, I loved to people watch (I still do). I would make up stories of the people... where they were from...where were they going...what were their jobs...did they have family. Some might look at this scene and feel pity....or enjoy the music...or admire the man/dog connection..or embrace his lifestyle. I choose to believe that this gentleman is a married retiree wo is finally able to do what he really wants to do, his dog always his companion, the money he earns in the hat for charity. And every day this is his "daily grind" and at the end of a glorious day, he goes home to his loving spouse for a fabulous meal with a glass of wine. And when he falls asleep, he dreams of his "daily grind" and how wonderful it is.
