Ugly/Pretty

While on our vacation last year in Puerto Rico, my family and I spent some time gazing at an aquarium in the hotel lobby. This sea urchin was in the tank, and while it looks like it’s in a perpetual apoplectic state and at first gave the creeps, the more I looked at, the more […]

Hazy Outlook

While at the Bayhouse Waterfront Bar & Grille in Rosedale, NY I took this photo using the Hipstamatic App. Even though it was a bright day the colors achieved in this shot were washed out giving the image a hazy, slightly gauzy feel. I love to use this app when I am feeling a sense of nostalgia and want the […]

Lone Protectors

Still Beauty

Flowers provide a sense of stirring calmness for me, as their beauty is still and quiet, yet their colors are vibrant attention grabbers. These marvels of nature compel me to document them. Short spans of existence in this world, flowers are the versatile Hallmark of nature. When given they express love, well wishes, thank yous, appreciation, […]

Three Little Birds

In New York City, sometimes you can hear the birds chirping away and fluttering about, especially in the morning or as you walk down a quite street. With the exception of the pigeons who most likely are walking alongside us with attitude. Gotta respect that. Evolution by way of city life. I try to capture […]
