These are long time, good friends. The pictures were taken about a year ago on the occasion of one of them celebrating both retirement and a birthday.

Photographs and thoughts on photography and camera collecting
Just about a year ago I found myself in Woodstock, NY. The pictures I took will be posted shortly (I’d forgotten that I’d taken them), but in the meantime, I wanted to share this picture of a man on his motorcycle. With the cigarette in his right hand, and the coffee cup in his left I thought he looked “cool” so I asked him if I could take his picture, and he agreed.
After I’d taken it, I showed it to him, and he seemed quite pleased with the way it came out.

Yesterday was the Executive Director of the Briarcliff Manor-Scarborough Historical Society and my friend Karen’s Birthday. So, we had a little celebration. I had earlier invited the Historical Society’s Board members. In that invitation I had asked if one of them would volunteer to pick up something to eat. Unfortunately, I must not have been clear enough, because everyone brought food – including me because I didn’t think anybody else was going to. So, we had way too much food, all of it sweet: cupcakes, mini-cupcakes, carrot cake etc. All of the Board members save one who had babysitting obligations came. As did our friends and neighbors from the Briarcliff Manor Recreation Department.
A good time was had by all.

Trying a bit of street photography in New York City (Manhattan).
I generally like to do my street photography in Black and White. But there’s something I like about the bright colors in this one that makes me want to leave it in color.
What to you think?
