Photo of the Day: Train tracks
This came out rather well, I think. I took it from the overpass down into Hoboken, which I used to walk on occasion. Good exercise, particularly coming back home since it was steep uphill all the way. The overpass crosses … Continue reading
Photo of the Day: Behind the Red Doors
I love fire escapes. I take so many pictures of fire escapes that I created a whole album on Flickr devoted to them. If I recall correctly, I got a glimpse of this beauty while I was waiting for a … Continue reading
Photo of the Day: The iron spike thingie
Every summer, my family – mother, siblings, kids, spouses – go to a lake in New Hampshire for a week. We’ve rented various houses there – they have to big enough to hold all of us. This is OUR lake … Continue reading
Photo of the Day: Lady Justice greets the sun
I took this in Memphis, January 2013. The sunrise was stunning and I got some nice pictures but this one stood out. I have since gotten it enlarged and framed. That’s the Court park, I think it’s called. I was … Continue reading

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: Blinding white and blue
The light is different in Los Angeles.
