Interesting short (22 minute) interview with George Tice: “… (1938-) an American photographer, best known for his meticulously crafted black and white prints in silver gelatin and platinum, as well as his books, which depict a broad range of American life, landscape, and urban environment, mostly photographed in his native New Jersey, where he has lived all his life, except for his service in the U. S. Navy, a brief period in California, a fellowship in the United Kingdom, and summer workshops in Maine, where he taught at the Maine Photographic Workshops, now the Maine Media Workshops” (Wikipedia).
Mind the gap
Taken at Scarborough station, Briarcliff Manor, NY as I waited for a Metro North train to take me into New York City.
On the way back I apparently didn’t ‘Mind the gap’ well enough. As I stepped off the train my foot caught on the edge of the platform and over I went. Thankfully apart from a scrape on my forehead no damage was done. I was actually worried about my camera more than myself, but it escaped with with a couple of small scratches on the underside of the lens hood. I can live with that, and anyway lens hoods aren’t expensive to replace.

How appropriate
Seen in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, NY.
In case you can’t read the names on the gravestones this appears to be the ‘Coffin’ family plot.

Dead tree
I’m fascinated by this dead tree by a nearby pond. It’s so white against everything that surrounds it. I’ve taken a number of pictures of it, and so far I think I’m most satisfied by this black and white rendering.

Pondweed
I liked the rather abstract look of the small, brighter yellowy-green leaves against the dark water.
