Photo of the Day: “Selfie”
… only done with a self-timer on my old awesome camera. This was taken in my first months in New York. I was living on the Upper West Side with my brother and his girlfriend, and going to grad school. … Continue reading
Photo of the Day: Snow
I took this in Frank Sinatra Park in Hoboken one snowy day. Frank Sinatra Park, where I stood, and watched the towers fall, the air filled with screams. I always think of that when I’m in that park. On this … Continue reading
Photo of the Day: Above the fray
This is one of my faves of all the photos I’ve taken. This is a dance studio a couple blocks south of Port Authority on 8th Avenue. A place that gets (or used to get) crazy foot traffic. Total human … Continue reading

Photo of the Day: I messed this one up
Every time I look at this photo it makes me laugh. I took it during my first year in New York. I was living on the Upper West Side with my brother and his girlfriend Maria, and attending my first … Continue reading
Photo of the Day: Tulips in Battery Park
For a year or so, the PATH station going from Exchange Place into the World Trade Center was out of service on the weekend for long-overdue repairs of the damage done by Hurricane Sandy. If you wanted to take the … Continue reading
