Monthly Archives: July 2012.jpg) We looked out this window from a few feet back in a post called “Running Out Of Titles.” I still lack a meaningful title for this view, but am happy to run the the accurate if vague “Another Look.” One thing I have to press myself to do is to process and publish multiple looks… .jpg) Another busy day, plus I have no idea what this flower is. I found it in the greenhouse at Mohonk Mountain House. Most of the flowers were not marked or identified in anyway, and I did not want to bother an employee every time I saw something interesting to shoot. This was taken with the… .jpg) As the title says, this is Philadelphia, looking north up South Broad Street at City Hall and the statue of William Penn, from the corner of Walnut Street. Busy day, busy weekend, gott run. Have a great weekend all. Tweet .jpg) This is the side chapel of Immaculate Conception Church (also known as St. Mary’s) in Yonkers, New York. Once again, I am grateful to Msgr. Hugh J. Corrigan for allowing me full access throughout this magnificent building while it was otherwise closed to the public. You can see the baptistery to the left, a statue of Jesus… .jpg) The entrance to this building is intact, including an elevator of some interest, but once you walk to the end of the foyer, you come upon this vista. Most of the building is just gone, having collapsed at some uncertain earlier date, which of course makes venturing into other buildings at the location rather unnerving….. .jpg) It’s Macro Monday on Google Plus again, and here is my entry for today. A red rose from my backyard, shot with the D700 and 200mm Macro (Micro) lens. Tweet  There was no Instagram Roundup last weekend, as I took the weekend off from the blog. These images apn the last 2 weeks. The first two are from the same OLMC Feast I covered in Friday’s post, featuring two subjects I left out of the photo essay but did capture withh my iPhone: a sausage…  This is the Giglio. The figure on top is St. Paulinus of Nola, who lived the latter part of his life (which spanned the 4th and 5th centuries), in Nola, a small town in the Campagna region of southern Italy. The Giglio weighs 4 tons, and at the start of the feast it is lifted… .jpg) This is another shot from my New Year’s morning excursion to Fort Tryon Park in very northern Manhattan. I’ve told the story of that morning with almost every post from the shoot so I will not repeat it here, but if you are interested use the site search function for “Tryon” and you’ll get the… .jpg) On Sunday afternoon of this week, I had the pleasure and opportunity to photograph Immaculate Conception Church (also known as St. Mary’s) in Yonkers, New York. I am grateful to Msgr. Hugh J. Corrigan for allowing me full access throughout this magnificent building while it was otherwise closed to the public. I also had he…  I’m pretty much done with images from the first building we explored at this location, and the second building looked much like the first. So, I am going to skip ahead to the third building, which was the most interesting, and I will mix in the occasional shot from the second building as I go… .jpg) The hardest thing about shooting flower macros outdoors is a light wind. It was a hot, muggy day and the air seemed absolutely still, but in fact there was an intermittent light breeze, so minimal that it gave no relief and was hardly noticeable, but was also enough to keep this and all the other… .jpg) I have written before about how unusual it is for a city street to have such a sharp bend or curve, and how they are found much more on movie sets than in real life. This short, narrow street, Doyers Street in Chinatown, is one of the most infamous such streets in the world. The reason…  This view is from a small landing area next to a not-yet-opened park in Greenpoint called Transmitter Park. I like the unusual view of the NYC skyline, with the midtown skyscrapers to the right, an unusual long cluster of low slung apartment buildings in the middle, and finally the power plant in the left foreground….  When you walk through Old City Philadelphia, you expect to see great buildings that are roughly 200 years old, and there are plenty of those. The more recent buildings that are mixed in are generally much less exciting. I was surprised, then, to stumble upon this beauty, of what appears to be mid-20th century vintage….
