Trudgin’ Across the Tundra

Gargoyles on 110th Street, nyc

I’m pretty sure I posted a photo of the gobbling gargoyles before. You can read about them here. I also posted a bunch more snow pictures in the February Blizzard Pix gallery. It’s true you can have too many snow pictures as I edited out plenty.

Blizzard Pix Are So February

After taking these pictures at Straus Park (not the fire escape ones), I sat in a bar with a million TVs and there was nothing but snow news: talking to plowers, motorists, sledding kids, moms at the shopping mall and why the hell are they at the shopping mall, and mayors talking about how many plows are out there. You’d think we’ve never seen snow and that plowers fly south when bad weather comes. Two websites I looked at recently:

  • A fantastic archive of American photography focusing on California suburbia.
  • Go on chatroulette and see if someone pays attention to you for more than a second. Probably helps if you’re a girl.

Update (Feb. 28, 2010): Added 19 more pix (after the first six) to this gallery taken during the next two snow blizzards of Feb. 16 and Feb. 25-27.

Life on Planet Photoshop

The only way to skillfully steer this program is with practice.

Ghosts Around the City

One of my New Year’s resolutions is to take more photos and stop pretending every image is so damn precious. I will still edit the utter crap. Here’s a gallery of recent black and white stuff. My other resolution is to make money.

Snow Pictures

Here’s a gallery of some photos I took following the blizzard of December 19th. I activated NextGen gallery for Wordpress and will be using it for large collections of photos. The PicLens feature works as a slideshow but it’s currently displaying images at a larger size than what was uploaded. I’ll figure it out. Enjoy!

Gazebo, Zamboni, Merovingian. These are a few of my favorite words.

One of the spookier stops on the F train, the last few photo posts were all taken in the area when I went to the Bell House to see That Petrol Emotion.

Bright Moments, Bright Moments

Metro North Beacon Station shelter

A bright moment ruined by the arrival of occupants who decided this was the best place to wait for the train that would be here in a few more moments.

I was up there earlier today and had a blast.

Fall Colors

79th street boat basin at sunset

I really like this photo. Even though the composition is completely split in half, both halves are satisfying and normally, you’d see the top half with a sunset over it. Hmmm.

I got booked to DJ a party at SiP for a bunch of jazz musicians this Saturday night. DJing for musicians is sort of like compiling a slide show for photographers. It’s curating a museum show for artists! I’m flattered and nervous.

Some of My Photo Philosophy

If I’m in a big crowd, I often shoot where there is nobody. I’m a soul rebel. A lot of times that ends up being the ceiling but sometimes I get the corner where all the equipment is and there’s an empty bag of potato chips in the wires. Tonight I had the crowd, I had the spot, but I could not get the shot. How about some bright moldings?
