I have just about run out of Christmas and holiday-themed images this year. Here is the front of the Lord & Taylor department store, taken more than a month before Christmas, when the lights were up but the windows were not yet fully decorated. Tweet

Monthly Archives: December 2009 Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Center, with trumpet-playing herald angels in the foreground. Merry, merry Christmas everyone. Tweet  This is the Nativity scene at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Manhattan, set up during Advent. Tweet Until the night I happened upon it and took this photo, I had no idea that a skating rink had been set up in Bryant Park, together with all of these shop stalls near the fountain. At the time I did it, this was my most involved processing job. A woman walked straight across the… One thing I’ve learned very recently about composition is the value of a wide-angle lens, and getting very, very close to a subject. Had I realized this even 3 weeks ago, the above shot might have looked very… To the folks coming here from my comment at Stuck in Customs, (it’s comment number 3), my Cartier Christmas storefront photo will be up tomorrow. Please do come back. UPDATE: It is now up HERE. Tweet This photo is from Lights on the Lake, on Onondaga Lake in Liverpool, NY, just outside of Syracuse. This next photo is a house in another Syracuse suburb. There may or may not be a point to this juxtaposition. Actually, I suppose there are several, but I don’t have any one particular point in mind….  Quick processing on early morning shot of a local street the day after the year’s first big snow storm (actually the biggest in a few years). Tweet It was 16 degrees F yesterday, and today we’re expecting our first big snow storm of the winter. So it’s time to start a series of 6-7 I took one August evening in Ferry Point Park in the Bronx. I took even more than that, but processed that many to a level I like. They… Skulking about SoHo after the Trey Ratcliff book party for “A World in HDR,” I walked several blocks down Lafayette Street. Years ago this was a regular haunt for me. I often had meetings and business nearby, and just liked spending time in the neighborhood. But when you live in New York for 2-3 Decades… Long Island City (LIC) is the westernmost neighborhood in Queens. It consists of aportion of a former city that once comprised other current Queens neighborhoods, including Astoria and Woodside, among others. LIC, and all of Queens, surrendered their political independence when together they joined New York City in 1898 to become the borough and county… UPDATE: March 18, 2010: I am proud to announce that this photo won Honorable Mention in the Nikonians 10th Anniversary Photo Contest first round. Trey Ratcliff’s famous HDR tutorial uses a photo of Times Square at night as its example. So it is very tempting, when one starts working through the tutorial and making your… It was just this summer that I started working seriously on my photography. One thing I decided to do — in addition to going on planned photowalks – would be to occasionally take my camera with me all day. Since I spend most day sin an office, that mostly meant looking for chance photo opportunities… This is Water Street in the Dumbo section of Brooklyn, looking towards lower Manhattan, taken between 9 and 10 on a recent morning. I lived in this neighborhood about 15 years ago and haven’t been back since. It was even less developed and more industrial then. Now the contrast between the old and new is… HDR shot of lower Manhattan, with emphasis on the Staten Island Ferry Terminal (the one on the left) and the Governors Island Ferry Terminal (on the right, with the orange/pink arches). The latter is also known as the Battery Maritime Building. This was taken from the Brooklyn Heights promenade. UPDATE: At the suggestion of some…  Most likely the most famous cathedral in the United States. I am fortunate to work about 2 blocks away, so during the week it is my church, for Holy Days and occasional visits. Tweet
