Road Trip

November 10, 2009 – 4:05 pm

Out of the blue, one month ago, a classmate from college, Scott Chaney,  called up and wanted to know if I was available for a week long road trip. Scott still shoots 4 x 5 sheet film which requires a ton of  gear, lighting and other stuff. I don’t drive manual transmission, so I got to snap a few while Scott drove the whole way…From Long Island onto New Jersey and then through  Pennsylvania to Southern Ohio past many many cornfields, and then it was through Indiana up to Illinois just North of Chicago. I tucked  my point and shoot into my coat and here are just a few…

Day trip

September 6, 2009 – 4:01 pm

 

 

I packed up the car with good food, including the last of the most delicious Long Island peaches I have ever tasted, and hit the road yesterday. In part I thought I would  see what had become of my childhood sleep away camp – Camp Ella Fohs, in New Milford CT. It was totally gorgeous and sunny and  a great day for adventure. After New Milford it was on to Kent, CT then Rhinebeck NY.

I was sad to learn the pond has been hidden behind this fence for years and it seems no trace whatsoever is left of the camp. It may have been closed by the 1980’s – it moved to New Milford in the 1920’s. I managed to peek through a hole in the fence.

Then it was on to Kent CT,  then Rhinebeck NY..then back to Long Island over the Whitsetone Bridge, where I quickly snapped the traffic (horizontal lines) and a moon one day after its fullness (the vertical line).

DUMBO

Took a few moments to relax at the waterfront late in the afternoon, during a photo festival last week.

These were taken with my point & shoot.

Arizona Moonrise

January 20, 2009 – 2:19 pm

I am back from Arizona: The land of the Sun. And during the week I was there, the land of the Moon! I kept thinking, Earth unplugged – in the same way I experience NYC as human energy unplugged. I took a quick detour to Jerome from Sedona. Jerome, Arizona is also know as The Vertical City. It is a former copper mining town and sits at an elevation of 5,200 feet. It took many hairpin turns to get up there. These days Jerome is home to a population of 450 including artists, innkeepers and others dedicated to tourism.
