As a tourist, I tend to look up... however on the ground most tend to look to their isolators... opps, I mean 'communication' devices.

I just developed a few rolls of film that I shot in New York before Christmas (I know, that was a month ago, but film development is about waiting for a surprise, a little like a Christmas gift!)

In short, New York is an amazing, vibrant city; hugely different from the New York I visited 30 years ago. I can't wait to return...

It would seem most New York Architects are male and obsessed with long vertical members...

Walking... where the sea reigns for half the day...

My 'blue period' part II, this is Cresent Beach at low tide, that special time when the sea temporarily retreats leaving it's edges exposed to the sky... and the sea and sky seam to merge...

Winter could be partly defined as my 'blue period' of the year. I can only speculate as to why, but I seem to have acquired a number of 'blue images' in the last while...

Feet, walking would be tough without them...
Perhaps we don't give them their due...
And since we have pop and scoop laws now, we don't as a rule look down as much as we did...
Here is a brief ode,
to feet....

More 'Red', my favorite colour...
I am also feeling nostalgic for this past fall...
