City Life

Above, another deal is made with a handshake. Each man trusts the other to maintain his part in upholding the business arrangement. Does this photo work for you? The "other" man appearing in the window.

Below, a photographer attempts to capture all the photo opportunities that exist in a city.
He must remain diligent and "shoot" quickly!

Always Waiting In A City

Above a banker completes his transactions and awaits for his driver to bring the car around.

Below, an urban cowboy, and starving artist, waits for the bus to take him to his next gig, playing banjo at a street fair.


What would a business man do while waiting for his lunchbreak to be over?

PEZ...Eeyore

My sister's favorite character in the Pooh series. My challenge, to make Eeyore look bright and yet try to create a slight "mood" which Eeyore possesses. For the "mood" I decided to use the soothing colors of blue and green to circle this character. I have to say, shooting these Pez dispensers has been a challenge, even more difficult than people! I'll share another, another time.

A STORM IS BREWING

This farm is across the street from my house and the light often creates interesting shadows and drama due to the metal roof. It has been so windy at my house, and at the farm as well, that it feels as if hurricane strength winds have come to visit. I decided to photograph the farm and combine the image with the "stormy winds" that I was experiencing. The dramatic sky, which in its original form was a sunset, has become ominous with a little manipulation.

Just Horsing Around..I know, Lame Joke

Nothing special today. Found these two while hiking along a farm's property.

Bald Mountain, Old Forge New York

What a fun hike! This short, but moderately difficult hike, is well worth it. The views are wonderful. There must have been 60 or more hikers enjoying the day with me. Though that number of hikers would usually bother me a bit, today it was understandable. Babies, strapped onto their dad's back even made the trip. I lucked out with blue skies, instead of the dreaded white that most photographers dread. If you can get to Old Forge, definitely do this hike!

Sunset In The Mohawk Valley

Keeping that camera handy in my car, I quickly pulled over to the side of the road to snap this one. NO saturation at all. "Noise" because I tried lightening the bottom a bit to no avail. Because of the dark foreground, I cropped it an odd size. Making the photo brighter simply took away the drama from the sky. Maybe it was more beautiful with my eyes? or do you like this?

Vrooman's Nose- A MUST Hike!

Vrooman's Nose Mountain

What a great hike! The views from the ledges of this mountain never end! Though I'm fearful of heights I did feel like I was on top of the world, looking down. I was fascinated with the picture above. I shot that scene a dozen times and when the owners came out I knew I had the image I wanted. Look at the old bus/van and that red barn!

The image below is an example of the hundreds of photos one could take from the top! I hope these images are strong, not just because I'm attached to them. I'll post more another time.
