Barbican London

The Barbican, a City of London housing complex with the largest performing arts centre in Europe built from the rubble of WWII bombing.

Through the maze of leading lines we eventually arrived at the photographic exhibition curated by Martin Parr – Strange and Familiar Britain as viewed by foreigners from the 1930’s through to today.

An impressive list of foreigners, an absolute must see!

Freedom to wander in the urban wilderness of the recent blizzard.

The final shot at the end of a long day when the camera, with two dead batteries, seemed to say “enough already!”

Second Ave.  New York.

Coney Island sunset sihouettes

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.

Hoda Kotb

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!
