Warm Rain
Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011
The rain was not as refreshing as I’d hoped. East Houston Street.
Fireworks
Monday, July 4th, 2011
My neighbors put on a spectacular show this evening. I haven’t seen a such a large fireworks display in the neighborhood in maybe 20 years.
As usual the Macy’s Hudson River show was barely visible from my East Village roof. This shot is from the finale and is as grand as it got.
Super Full Moon
Saturday, March 19th, 2011
The super full moon actually lived up to the hype. It looked huge rising over the East Village tonight.
Saturday Night Lights

Moon and Jupiter
Saturday, September 18th, 2010
Jupiter is coming nearer to earth than it has been in 50 years. Here’s a couple of photos I was able to shoot hand held from the streets of the East Village. I’m fairly sure I got Jupiter in focus, but just that it shows up as a disc amazes me. Both were shot at the same focal length, so I’m sure some astronomically literate someone out there can tell.

Labor Day Night
Tuesday, September 7th, 2010
Manhattan empties out on the Labor Day weekend. A walk through my neighborhood with the dullest bits excised.
Katz’s Neon
Monday, September 6th, 2010
Shooting hand-held at night without flash presents some challenges. The natural lighting and the movement blur of the people is appealing. But holding the camera steady enough at the required slow shutter speed is a bit chancy and the digital noise with my Panasonic DMC-FZ35 in low light exposures is very ugly. I’ve resorted to a much heavier Photoshop hand than usual for me.
