Karen is my friend, and boss at the Briarcliff Manor-Scarborough Historical Society (BMSHS). She was kind enough to invite me to spend Christmas with her and her son, Robert. I had a great time.

A Walk through Ossining – A couple of guys ‘chillin’ out

I struggled with a title for this image and I’m still not happy with the one chose.

I was walking around looking for a picture, when I came across these two guys sitting in front of the Smith Robinson House. It looked as if they were on their lunch break. They were certainly eating something. I thought they would make an interesting picture so I asked them if I could take their pictures. They agreed (for a small fee) and this is the result.
