Photographs and thoughts on photography and camera collecting
This pond is on the site of the former Briarcliff Lodge. Local legend has it that this pond was once the pool to the lodge. Be that as it may I was not aware the it had fish in it. But the angler reassured me that it does, specifically he mentioned bass. I think he said largemouth bass, but I’m not sure that my memory is correct.

A little while ago I was watching a Youtube video by a well known landscape photographer. He suggested that a good photograph should pose questions to the viewer.
This one certainly made me ask a few questions, the most important being why are these two (yes there are two of them, one is far off in the distance) brightly colored fire hydrants out in the middle of a field with no proximity to any buildings?

I was attracted to the contrasting warm and cooler colors, the different textures of the rocks and the pebbles, and the various shapes.

I took these pictures because I thought they were interesting and little bit different. I mean – how often do you see a tree growing out of the middle of another tree?
I was only after I was editing them on the computer that I realized that they could perhaps been seen a different way….

I took this picture of my favorite New York City building: The Chrysler Building as I made my way back to Grand Central for my train ride back home.
I had been half expecting Manhattan to be a virtual ghost town. But it wasn’t. Sure, a lot of things were closed but there were lots of people on the streets and as I passed bars/restaurants I noticed that they had quite a few customers, both inside and out.
The picture was taken around 6:15pm on a Friday evening.
