this was taken last weekend on a spur of the moment trip.  i didn’t take my time paying attention to details and that’s why the sky is blown out.  when that happens converting the photo to black and white is a great cover up as seen in this photo.  the color version can be found here. if i were you i wouldn’t click on it.

visited the Fosterfields Living Historical Farm today. it’s only 30 minutes from home and it felt like we were in a different state. enjoyed it.

i thought it was funny that the only animal we got to pet was a cat, i wanted to ride a horse.

this is an HDR photo. too bad i’m not good with photoshop or i could do something with the boring sky. i may revisit this photo when i have time to learn how to fix it.

two things going on here:

1. i was practicing my street photography technique; and

2. learning how to convert color images to b&w.

i hate PP, but sometimes it’s a necessary evil. i used Nik software for the conversion.

i actually like the image itself. i was focused on the man on the phone, then cigarette guy appeared in the frame as i pressed the shutter.

i think he adds something to the photo. what? i’m not sure.

taken from fort lee, new jersey. a walk (run, bike ride) across the GWB to 178th street in new york is the least expensive way into the city.

i don’t know how come there weren’t more people on the bridge, it’s free. a lovely view and a sign or two to call a number first if one is feeling depressed. it’s very easy to jump.

quick video here.
