Taken in a coffee shop (First Village Coffee) in Ossining, NY. I liked the way the light was streaming in through the door.

Homemade Guitars
My younger daughter was here in New York a few weeks ago. She stayed in her friend’s apartment while he was away. I visited her there and she showed me these guitars. They were made by her friend’s son. He’s 11 years old. To see him playing click here.

A convoy of geese
I came across this convoy of Canada Geese the other day on the Hudson River in Ossining, NY. They were heading north (maybe to some kind of goose convention?). I don’t recall ever have seen so many of them at the same time. This picture shows 29 geese, but I couldn’t fit all of them in, there were probably 10-15 more behind these.

A Statuette
Spotted while I was walking from my house down to the waterfront in Ossining, NY. As is the case with almost all my photographs, I took it most because I thought it looked interesting.
To a very large extent I agree with famous photographer Garry Winogrand when he said: “I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed.”

Takeoff
I was sitting reading on the deck outside my bedroom when I saw this Red-Tailed hawk (or at least that’s what I think it is) circling overhead. Eventually it settled in a nearby tree. When I’m sitting on my deck there’s always the possibility of a bird picture, so I had an appropriate camera/lens combination right next to me. After a while I got the sense that the bird was about to take off. I was right and I managed to get a few pictures before it flew away. The first one shows the bird spreading its wings just as it was about to takeoff. She second was taken only a second or two later when the bird was already into its flight.
They’re certain not my best pictures (once it got going the bird moved very quickly and the tree was some distance away) but I like them, particularly the second one because it’s a view you just don’t see with the naked eye – it happens so fast. And just look at the talons in the second picture. I wouldn’t want to be on the wrong end of those.
