PEDESTRIAN CROSSING, NYC

I always enjoy taking images of very abstract subjects like this pedestrian crossing. Maybe its part of my nature as the son of a painter, who loves painting.

THE LITTLE CHURCH, NYC

The Church of the Transfiguration is one of the most famous parishes of the Episcopal Church in the United States. It has had a rich history since its founding in 1848. I was attracted to the architecture which is more reminiscent of European architectural styles.

APPLELLATE COURT OF NEW YORK

Again, it has been some time since my last posting. Its been a busy time for me so I could not spend more time on my photography or my blog. So here is another of my New York pictures. In this case I noticed this building which is the appellate division ogf the supreme court of the state of New York.

HUNGRY

The Winter is a time of hardship for all animals and birds. The deer come into our yards to raid the bird feeders. This young deer had a hard time reaching a bird feeder but he was hungry enough to figure out how to empty the feeder.

VERY COLD

It has been quite a few days since my last posting. I had to spend some time preparing for my Winter course on Photoshop Elements. This week the weather turned bitter cold and to top it off The contractor came in to replace our windows, six of them including two big picture windows. I have to say, they worked very efficiently and by mid afternoon all the windows were in place. Of course the house cooled down quite a bit. Actually the temperature yesterday morning and also this morning was -36C. But we survived.

BACKLIGHTING

Crossing the street lat in the afternoon I noticed the building backlit by strong sunlight. The lines and shapes created the right subject for a good abstract image.

REFLECTION

Back to colour. I simply photographed the street reflected in the back of a parked car. What I like in this image is the illusion of the logo flying towards the viewer.

IN VIOLENCE WE FORGET WHO WE ARE

Walking by a gallery in downtown New York, I photographed this sign. Reading the papers, listening to the news or watching TV, I thought that this image reflects how I feel about the all the violence occurring in the world today.

MADISON SQUARE PARK, NY

Another black and white image. I took this picture in a small park near the flatiron building. I liked the unusual but beautiful shape of the tree, which contrasts nicely with the stark lines of the office buildings in the background.

THE FLATIRON BUILDING, NY

The holidays are over. It was a great time for my family and me but extremely busy. Now its time to get back to my photography. I did not get a chance to to take many pictures, except family shots, so I will continue with some more images from our New York trip in November. The flatiron building has always been a favourite site for many photographers. Just look at the great image made by Edward Steichen in 1905.So of course I could not resist photographing this unusual building.
