To exist, side by side. Likely at the hand of the same creator. Made of the same materials. The inhabitants feel the same walls that surround them, hard and unforgiving. Once inside, looking out, can they see the color of the structure they inhabit, or only the color of their neighbor? Does it really matter then, black or white?

Point Of Impact

Jousting they say was a sport of Kings. Today, the knights of the realm in the Shire reenact the sport for entertainment each year at the Renaissance Faire at Tuxedo Park, New York.
I am enthralled each year by the color and the personalities I encounter here with my camera. A colorful feast for the eyes and an entertaining day out with my wife.

Grand St. Johns Bridge

I’m fascinated with the grand nature of the St Johns bridge in Portland.  I was hiking with my dog when I saw this scene through the trees.  Luckily I had my phone.  I’ll need to go back with my other camera but the phone did this justice.

Amish Horsepower

One of my favorite holiday destinations to getaway from the hubbub of New York life has turned out to be Lancaster, Pennsylvania a few hours drive from home. The Amish are a fascinating group of people who have somehow persisted and resisted the advances of modern day and still live like it used to be. While they do not fancy posing for photographs my recent visit armed with a 600mm lens helped capture this image from a distance.
