Great Lawn

In Central Park. Closed for the winter. Golden ratio. This one demanded a wide crop (16:9).

Postcard From Harlem

Harlem Meer & Education Center. Northeast tip of Central Park. With a layer of duckweed & algae covering most of the surface interrupting the reflections. Just putzing around with the wide-angle lens, which I've still not got comfortable with.

Chain Ladder

A little gritty black & white for a change. I don't imagine they would even think of building a new playground with these things for kids to climb on.

G15 again. I could be using the "big" rebel this weekend but I just want to get comfortable with the workings of the little guy.

Framing the Flag

I'm really not the flag-waving type, and frankly I'd be just as happy if a city like New York would display flags from around the world from the million or so flag poles erected in about every park and multiple buildings, including schools, hospitals, fire and police stations, post offices, libraries, etc. I do like a dash of color against the otherwise clear blue sky and here I liked the framing by the oak branches at this tiny abandoned fort (?) in northern Central Park - with no signs or plaques to explain its significance

Green Day

Weights

These are weights on the front end of a tractor that keep it from tipping up as the tractor is pulling a heavy load or a stump out of the ground, etc. Again courtesy of Parks Department landscaping depot, yesterday.

Chain in Red

Detail of some piece of landscaping equipment from the Parks Department yard in Central Park. Took a long walk today and will display a few pics over the next few days if nothing else comes up. My lighting project is still ongoing, so I hope to have something to show tomorrow on that.

Photo Walk with a Student

 

Teaching a student how to use my old Rebel SLR, so we met at the Museum of Natural History (first three) and then spent a few minutes outside in the sweltering heat at the Swedish Cottage in Central Park. These are a selection of my shots.
