My Bob

Nashville Skyline

What to say?  I have always loved my records which were bought back in the day after much scrimping and saving for the absolute favourites, to have and to hold in my hands with love forever, never ever to part.

Solace in moments of delicious loneliness they wear their needle scratches much as I wear now the lines on my face but hear the songs, the tracks of your youth, and the years peel away.  Forever young.

Unbelievably (why do I say this?) Bob Dylan and Van Morrison among others will be playing concerts during the summer out at Forest Hills in Queens.  Do I want to be there?  You bet!   But I’m on the move in and out of NYC over the summer and I can’t commit to tickets, on the assumption that they’re not sold out already.

So Happy Birthday Bob, what’s 75 years when we were all so much older then but younger than that now?

Meet my son Patrick. He’s studying TV and Video production at a local High school (Read College.) This was taken on the last day of school for this year. He had just returned home from  Los Angeles and San Fransisco.He’s won a scholarship for his studies next year so that takes the financial weight off somewhat. He has already done work for National TV and a national newspapers web TV. Who knows what the future holds 🙂

Terminal Walkway, Ronald Reagan National Airport, Washington, DC

Ronald Reagan National Airport, Washington, DC

Nope, we weren’t photographing anyone famous. I was a member of a “photo safari”  that allowed us to photograph the interior of the airport. This particular site was an exercise in capturing the leading lines and repeating architecture of this terminal walkway. I decided the shot would be much more fun and interesting by capturing the other photographers and the movement of the approaching travelers.

“137 years later, Memorial Day remains one of America’s most cherished patriotic observances. The spirit of this day has not changed – it remains a day to honor those who died defending our freedom and democracy.”

The Shinto Shrine In Brooklyn

I have been intrigued with Japanese Gardens and now convinced that I will create one, of course in a much smaller scale, on one side of our home. This Shinto Shrine can be seen overlooking the beautifully landscaped Japanese Hill and Pond Garden at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Constructed a century ago way back in 1914, it happens to be the first Japanese Garden to be created in an American public space.
