Five Signs
Sometimes the purpose of my image title is to push you to look for elements you might not have noticed, and this is one such case. I'm also having something of a…
The Shock of the New/The Shock of the Old
I sat on this for almost one and a half years, because every time I looked at it I thought the idea behind it was stronger than the actual image…
Winter White and Black
I feel almost as if I just channelled Jim Denham: some snow, a fence, a bleak winter landscape, and a black and white treatment. It's actually quite a beautiful…
You Say Angry, I Say Rancor
This is another item from the Star Wars Angry Birds play set my daughter received for Christmas. This is the Rancor monster, famously appearing in Jabba's cave in Return of…
Bethesda Fountain Black and White – Winter Bleak Version
You might notice sharpness issues if you look closely, but I like this enough anyway to go ahead and use it. In addition to needing to overcome that obstacle,…
Federal Reserve Bank of New York Front Door
Now that is a solid, imposing door, fronting the Federal Reserve Bank of New York which is a fortress-like structure taking up an entire three-sided block bounded by…
New York Korean War Veteran’s Memorial – Battery Park
Dedicated in 1991, the New York Korean War Veteran's Memorial, commemorating what has often been called "The Forgotten War," predates the one on the National Mall by four years. The…

Manhattan Bridge In Blue Fog [in which I discuss my color correction failures]
I don't remember it being quite this blue. Everything was more of a murky, desaturated grey. Unfortunately every attempt to color correct this image looked even more wrong. I tried…
Lurking
Keeping the corner completely in shadow was a choice. I had brighter exposures that I kept out of the merged image to create this look. Is there a point to using…
Wands At The Ready
I feel bad for Ron Weasley. While I think the author and movie makers treated him with respect, it seems some fans and certainly these toy makers do him an…
The Grey Man Will Always Find His Way
It's been a few weeks since I posted one of these, and I need to get out and take some more, too. I think I'm running out. In addition, I…
Lake Mohonk Boat Dock In Fog
I made such a big deal, in my own mind, anyway, about shooting in fog one morning last month and presenting all the photos shortly thereafter, and in doing so…
Bethesda Fountain Plaza and Underpass In Winter
The Bethesda Fountain Plaza and Underpass This is an often photographed subject, including the image shown by me last week and previously in infrared here and here. Shooting from the underpass…
