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.

I came across pieces set into the wall of a building at Third Avenue and East 50th Street in New York City (Manhattan). They appear to be stained glass, set into a shiny metal surround. I have no idea why they’re there or who created them.
I can’t say that I like them much.

I was going to eat at one of my favorite waterfront restaurants: 3 Westerley right on the river in Ossining, NY.
If you’re driving, the usual (there is at least one other) path to follow would be do go down Main Street and then take the overpass which goes up pass the station, crosses over the rail tracks and then curves around towards the restaurant.
I arrived a bit early i.e. before the restaurant opened so I was looking for something to photography that wouldn’t take me too far away from the restaurant. I thought that this picture taken from under the overpass would fit the bill. A black and white treatment seemed the best way to go.
