I thought I would try a little motion blur to accentuate the “rush”. I hope you enjoy.

Broken Spirits !
I love finding old abandoned buildings to photograph. I think about all the history and the people that went through their doors and in this case the dark spirits that were left behind in this Mental Institution. I chose black and white to highlight the “vibes” this building gives off. I hope you enjoy.
Fujifilm X-E1 and Fujinon XF 18-55 f/2.8-4 R lens – 1/180 @ f/5.6 – 55mm – ISO 200
“My Fellow Americans”
Here I go again getting up on a soap box and preaching, but when it comes to homeless people I just can’t help myself. In a country as wealthy as ours there is no excuse to even have one homeless person. We have wars on terrorism, wars on drugs, wars on super sized soft drinks, wars on everything except for those who are vulnerable and living on the street. On this particular day in Manhattan I was bundled up and freezing, it was about 15 degrees Fahrenheit and windy so I could imagine how cold he was. The first words out of any politician when running for office and making a speech is “My Fellow Americans”. Why are we getting immune to helping “Our Fellow Americans” ?

Clearly ?
I don’t know why but while I was photographing this scene I was thinking of a stupid joke that my friend Carmela laughs at every time. What did the psychiatrist say to his male patient that came into his office wearing cellophane underwear ? – I could clearly see your nuts. :D I hope you enjoy.

Turn To Stone !
Everything just seemed to cooperate with me today to capture this scene from the clouds to the angle of the sun on the snow. When I was photographing this scene I could not help but think of the song by The Electric Light Orchestra – “Turn To Stone”. I hope you enjoy.
Nikon D7000 and Tokina 12-24 f4.0 lens – 1/400 @ f/8.0 – 12mm focal length. A Formatt/HiTech 0.9 graduated ND filter was also used.
X-Files ?
I tried to make this scene as eerie as possible and incorporate some simulated film grain to make it look like it’s out of some low budget horror film. All I could think of was that television series The X-Files. I really was foggy out and that added to the effect.
Morning Jog !
This person was taking their morning jog down a foggy path. Taken with a Nikon D7000 and Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 lens. I hope you enjoy.
Stylin’ In NYC !
While this beautiful young woman was obsessed with her phone I was admiring her very stylish wardrobe. Shot with an Olympus OMD E-M5 and 14mm f/2.5 Panasonic/Lumix pancake lens. I hope you enjoy.
