NYC Morning










Photos from a recent morning wandering around Grand central and the New York Public Library.  All photos taken on a Mamiya M645 camera with 80mm f2.8 lens on Ilford HP5 120 size film.  Work flow is much more streamlined in digital photography, but there is something really satisfying about shooting on film and and scanning.  It is much more deliberate.

Storm Clouds Gather in the 'Gunks


Had a family lunch up at the Moutain Brau House in the Shawangunks yesterday.  We were early so I stopped at the overlook above the first hairpin turn heading to Minnewaska.  Was able to catch these beautiful B&Ws of storm clouds above New Paltz.  Lesson... Always have a camera with you.

St John's in the wilderness - Harriman State Park




There is an old church in the middle of the park.  I have always wanted to take great photos of it and have tried two or three times in the past never quite getting what I wanted. I think I caught it just right this time.

Red Apple Rest










Yesterday I was driving up route 17 to my parents house and stopped at the Red Apple Rest to take some photos.  This ruin of a building was once the first stop people made on the way out of NYC to the Catskills.  Many of my friends and I share memories of this place and associate it with being part of a journey.  That was a different time.  Very sad to see its current state.  If Rt 17 got more traffic They would probably build a Starbucks or a Barnes and Noble here... While very sad to see this place this way it did make a great subject for some interesting photos.
