The serendipitous acceptance of imperfection in a messy world, otherwise known as what happens when you forget to stop, stay still then shoot while chasing the crowd down the street.

Dartmoor Wind

Out alone on Dartmoor in the wild mid-winter when howling winds from ancient times stirred the limbs and leaves to blow a chorus of thunder through the mighty oaks.

It was great up there!

Snow falling on the Bowery

This time last year and so many seasons since . . .  when it doesn’t seem that long ago at all.

Shot down on the Bowery during a biting snow storm, squeezing the last final frames out of the camera before the creeping lens fog declared enough, no more.

Clouds over Coney Island

 

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.

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 – In memory of Patricia Fogarty

Road cruiser



   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.
