Take The Plunge

Not just yet. The water temperature is only about 62 degrees where this was taken in New York. I hope you enjoy.

Arches

Originally I shot image in in color but when I looked at the image on the LCD screen something was missing. I decided to switch the camera to black and white mode and apply the internal red filter to accentuate the clouds and textures of the building and now I think it looks correct. In case you didn’t notice there is a sundial on the building and the time was right on. I guess there is something to be said for ancient technology. This is part of the mansion at Planting Fields Arboretum. I hope you enjoy.

Adrift

There is nothing better than taking a little snooze in the afternoon and this image reminded me of drifting in and out of consciousness while lying on a lawn chair next to a lake (Laurie). I hope you enjoy.

If Man Could Fly ?

Maybe he would look like this. Image is a hood ornament on a 1950 Cadillac. I hope you enjoy.

And The Worst Part Is !

The worst part about getting old is you just can’t bend like you used to ! This is a distorted “selfie” of yours truly in the reflection of a 1950 Cadillac “Bullet” shaped bumper guard. I thought it would look cool because of all the pitting in the chrome and the remnant of Scotch Tape. I hope you enjoy.

Gate Pin

I already love the textures of brick and rust but when you find them together it’s a real treat (at least for me it is but then again my cheese slid off my cracker a long time ago). I hope you enjoy.

Only The Good Die Young

Here is a great live performance of “Only The Good Die Young” performed by Long Islands own Billy Joel at Shea Stadium in Queens New York. I hope you enjoy.
