I have always felt that this view from Boscobel out across Constitution Marsh towards the Lower Hudson valley is one of the best around. I also liked the cloud formations.

Woodpeckers at work
At least I’m assuming that it’s woodpeckers because I can’t imagine what else could create such interesting patterns. I suppose it could be some kind of bug.
Bruce Gilden critiques photographs
Magnum’s Bruce Gilden Delivers a Brutally Honest Critique of Art Photography
I’m not such a fan of Bruce Gilden‘s in your face with camera and flash style. And I’m not sure that I like his pictures much. They seem a bit ‘samey’ to me. However, as I said in an earlier post on Garry Winogrand it may just be that I struggle with street photography in general. I keep trying, but I still “don’t get it”.
I do like Gilden’s style in his critiques though and I find that I pretty much agree with everything he’s saying.
Bruce Gilden — a Brooklyn-born photographer who has won numerous awards and is now part of the Guggenheim Fellowship thanks to his street photography work — recently sat down with VICE to do a little art critique. Although ‘critique’ might be a nice way of putting it.
Gilden’s no-nonsense personality makes for a blunt and honest review of art photographs the likes of which you probably won’t see anywhere else. Fortunately, it’s also extremely educational… and a bit funny.

More pictures from my recent trip into the city. This time interiors of the Metropolitan Museum of Arat.
I’m not sure exactly what this gallery is. Looks like something Greek or Roman.
Hudson Valley View
This was taken from the property adjoining our house – less than one minute away. While our property goes right down to a dock on the lake, our neighbours have large boulders overlooking the lake. I like our view from lake level, but I also appreciate their view from I slightly higher elevation.
