June 06, 2013 - "Self (Grainy)"

Woke up with a major headache. Loaded up on ibuprofen and went back to bed to sleep it off.

Feeling better... but still "fuzzy". Perhaps that's why I went with the grain boost in this image... I don't know.

Went out for some Pho with my very good friend Lenny... which made things much better.

Life is good again!

June 02, 2013 - "Warm Out Today..."

It's warm out today.

Not as warm as yesterday... but it's still freakin' warm.

I wouldn't call it "hot"... not yet. But it's getting there.

Time to put the old AC in the bedroom window and crank it up. But first snap a shot of the AC unit's side-shutters.

Oh... and I think it's time for a nice cold beer!

365 Project - Day 142 - "Moon Over Bethesda Fountain"

May 22, 2013 - "Moon Over Bethesda Fountain"

Tonight I'm in Central Park, shooting around the famous Bethesda Fountain. It's an interesting place to shoot - because other than a few lamp posts here-and-there, nothing is illuminated. You're shooting in darkness... or, in this case - by moonlight only. That means looooooong exposures (this one was just shy of a minute... at f/8) and lots of trial and error.

I still have about a 150 images to sort through... but this one caught my eye as my favorite from the night. I'm currently reading a biography of Edward Steichen (which also talks a lot about Alfred Stieglitz) - and while I would never compare myself to such great photographers, something about this image reminded me of a Steichen or Stieglitz-esque photo from the early 20th century.

OK... I'll quit babbling about it now. There it is... and that's that!
