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!”

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!
