Working from home has its perks (hot chocolate breaks, cuddles with my cat, sweatshirts), but sometimes I just have to get out of the apartment. When I feel stir-crazy, I tend to wander. Often I don’t have a specific destination in mind, but rather leave on an impulse, thinking thoughts like ‘today I’ll wander to [...]
How do I describe the rush of seeing elite athletes run by me, clocking 4:30 minute miles? These runners–seen here around mile 7 of the New York City Marathon–were barely breathing, their light footsteps whispering past the crowd in seconds. I set my shutter speed to 1/3000 and that was still barely fast enough to [...]
All of these pictures were taken before that unexpected snowstorm we had on Saturday. I went out on a drizzly, perfectly crisp Fall day. Most people were inside and Prospect Park was unusually quiet. I loved it!
Considering we received 2 inches of snow on Saturday, today’s weather is chillier than your typical Halloween. The chilliness brings to mind a few childhood Halloweens when I had to reluctantly cover up part of my costume with a jacket. As I talked about last year, Brooklyn and all of New York gets into the [...]
Oliver Strand wrote that these bottles look as if they belong in a “cooler on the porch”. I don’t disagree. The dark amber glass, dotted with a layer of condensation, brings to mind an old fashioned root beer. But instead of carbonation, these “stubbies” are filled with Stumptown’s cold brew coffee. Portland Stumptown cafes have [...]
I had to mail back (my) the 85mm lens yesterday. In my mind, the weather was appropriately gloomy as I walked the block to the post office holding the box. I felt very comfortable using this lens in the short time I had it. I wouldn’t say it ‘fit like a glove’ (mostly because it’s [...]
I rented the Nikon 85mm 1.4 G for five days and have had an enormous amount of fun photographing with this incredible lens. I seamlessly adapted to my new life where I actually owned the lens, but a reminder email from the rental site quickly snapped me out of fantasy land. In the four days I’ve [...]
The last my parents visited Central Park, they were younger than I am now! (My dad was 18!) Last Friday, we subwayed in to 59th Street for a cupcake at Magnolia Bakery and followed our sugar high with a lovely walk through Central Park. Last Friday’s weather was perfect. Everything feels better and more positive [...]
Where: Union Square Greenmarket When: Wednesday, October 5, 2011 I only had time to take a few pictures before I quickly ran out of hands as I checked off items from my shopping list! Still, it’s clearly Fall at the Greenmarket. Pumpkins, gourds, mums, root vegetables. New York has finally received some quintessentially perfect Fall [...]
After last summer’s frantic visit to Storm King, we promised ourselves that we’d return with more than one hour allocated to visiting the 500 acre property. Our goal this year was to leave the city by 10:30 and eat a picnic lunch on one of the shaded lawns. We didn’t end up leaving Brooklyn until [...]
