Taken a few years ago with snow still on the ground with an Olympus Stylus Epic.

In the morning our dog will jump on the bed and try to lick my face. If successful he’ll lick for a while and then pull back at bit – as if to examine his work and to decide whether or not he’d got everything. Then if necessary he’ll go back and lick some more. This is what he’s doing here.
He was lying on my chest so I couldn’t move to get any camera other than that on my iphone. I couldn’t really see what I was doing so I took lots of pictures, moving the iphone around as I did.
While technically this isn’t a great picture (soft, blurry, noisy etc.) I like it, partly because of the different angle. I don’t usually see him from this perspective.
Taken with an iphone 5s.
2018 Favorites – Black and White
As we come to the end of another year it’s time for me to go through my annual ritual of picking a few (actually 10) of my favorite pictures from 2018, starting with black and white.
Behind the Filipino Store
We went to our favorite Filipino store/restaurant in Poughkeepsie to get food and other supplies the other day. The dog needed to relieve himself so I took him for a short walk behind the building. This is what we found.
Just goes to show that the Hudson Valley isn’t all picturesque landscapes.
Taken with a Sony RX-100 M3.
Weeping Willow
This one is something of an oldie, dating back to my re-discovery of film photography in 2011.
It was taken at Philipsburg Manor in Sleepy Hollow, NY with a Zorki 4 rangefinder. I don’t recall what lens was used but it would have been either an Industar 61 52mm f2.8 or a 50mm f2 Jupiter 8.
