About a month ago my younger daughter was visiting NY City, so I went in to have lunch with her. She was staying in a friend’s apartment on Long Island City. I remember Long Island City as being mostly factories and warehouses. Things have certainly changed: High rise apartment buildings, lovely parks along the river, nice restaurants etc. Her friend’s apartment certainly had some fantastic views. And only one stop away from Grand Central.

A friend recently loaned me her old camera: an almost 20-year-old Nikon D40. I wanted to see what I could do with such an old, 6-megapixel camera. So, I went for a walk in nearby Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. It was a very pleasant camera to use small, light, pleasant colors, no complicated menus etc. and the results were pretty good.

A view of Main Street, Ossining through a metal sculpture. A plaque on the sculpture reads:

“Let’s Roll” by James Havens. Installed as a part of the “Ossining in 3d” Sculpture Exhibition and purchased through the generous crowd funding donations of residents and friends in honor of the Village of Ossining Bicentennial 2013 celebration.
