Informal portrait of Dan Burkholder at a workshop on alternative photo processes before COVID forced him to move classes to the internet. Dan is a well known lecturer, teacher, author of several books on photography processes, and master printer. I have attended several of his workshops and enjoyed them all. I look forward to the time things return to normal and I can join him for another class.

An Impressionist take Terez, my fellow dance student. I asked her to characterise herself in three words. She came up with introverted and sensitive. I’d add gentle – she’s studying to work in pediatrics.

Third Generation

This is Gerry and he’s a third generation paving and masonry contractor from Ireland. He’s currently doing some work at my home. He’s pictured here with his sons Jimmy and Michael after a hard day of work. Perhaps I should have titled this image third and fourth generation.

Image was taken with a Fujifilm X-H1 and XF 56mm f/1.2 lens

This is a casual portrait I took of the legendary street photographer Louis Mendes at the 2018 Coney Island Mermaid Parade. If you live in the NYC area you probably have met him. Thank you Louis for being a gentleman.

While attending the New York Unfiltered photo exhibition by our very own Martha Rohl I noticed this beautiful young woman sitting by the window where the light was perfect.  I snapped this image through the plate glass window. When I showed her the image I also found out it was her birthday. Happy Birthday 😀
