What Clouds?

After the long warm summer, a thin crowd potters at peace under the dark clouds of oncoming autumn along the boardwalk from Brighton Beach to Coney Island.

Warm Words

The actor Neil Patrick Harris has so many fans! Here are some of the many who waited recently in line outside Barnes and Noble for him to autograph their copies.

Or, as one adorer stated, “I just want to breathe to breathe the same air as him for 30 seconds!”

Vista Cruising

   This car is a reasonably familiar sight to me but always, 
   it takes me by surprise.  A stealth car, it cruises by in
   silence as though on a visit from the past and still I am
   yet to catch a glimpse of the driver. 

   Under the glare of the mid morning sun I caught the 
   cruiser in action, not at all sure of what I might get, 
   in the full road rays of a quiet New York City moment.

September Sunday

The last Sunday in September and here, out at Coney Island, fishermen throw their lines while others sit back and take in the Sunday sun. I took out my iPhone. Autumn seems so far away.

Light My Fire

Hoda Kotb Talk

Patti, Photography

I took this photo today, a beautiful warm September Sunday here in NYC up on 5th Ave at the funeral of the wonderful Joan Rivers. Hoda Kotb, television news anchor and TV host is talking to NBC News, the tiny hint of fuzzy microphone in bottom right-hand corner, letting us know how beautiful the ceremony was, full of tears, laughter, just what Joan would have wanted. And I suspect she might have enjoyed the cute little man in the background of the shot with that smile of his. I know I do!

Los Angeles Tracks

Down by the scrubby sands of the Los Angeles River, exploring life in the urban raw of the LA railway tracks where the hopes of freight train riders seem to ride forever through the past, present and future.
