Photographs and thoughts on photography and camera collecting
My wife had gone to her dance class and I was walking the dog around the parking lot when I noticed this snowy truck wheel. Somehow I saw a panda face in the pattern of the wheel nuts on the snow. I didn’t have a camera with my and so had to resort to my old iPhone 3GS.
Leaving the house one day I noticed these ice crystals on one of the windows in our garage. Makes a nice abstract composition.
We’ve been getting a lot of snow of late. Averaging around three snow falls every week, the snow on the ground has now accumulated to about two feet or so. So it’s hard to take pictures outside without getting snow. It’s getting a bit tiresome. Here’s some snow on one of our patio benches. I liked the pattern of the snow on the wooden slats of the bench; the diagonal lines; and the contrast between the light and dark areas.
The 13 bridges loop trail at the Rockefeller Preserve passes under route 117. As we walked by sunlight was streaming through the gap between the two roadways. I loved the contrast between the light and the dark as well and the diagonal lines of the the light beams. Also the way the light illuminated the wall and the rocks in the foreground picking out all of the beautiful textures. I really like this picture, and its a good example of why you need to have a camera with you at all times. If I’d left the camera at home I’d have missed this.
Taken from my office in New York City in February 2010. I’d just acquired my then new Panasonic LX-3, the camera which I credit with re-awakening my interest in photography. I couldn’t wait to try it out so finding the geometric patterns on the building opposite interesting I just pointed it through the window. I like the somewhat abstract look.
