  • December 1, 2023 – A room with a view!

    Hope you figured out yesterdays surprise – It is not a blond haired lady, but a man’s ponytail. I did not notice it until I went to post that photo. Today’s photo is from a room that could be advertised as “A room with a view of Central Park”.

    AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE – Try to think about what you want each photo say before you snap it – but if you don’t – worry not, because you can figure out what it says when you share it with family and friends.

  • November 30, 2023 – This was to be about looking for “Street Photos” of focusing subjects – But surprise —

    Continuing the theme of capturing “street photos” of people focusing on what they are doing – I loved capturing the two studying their phones but SURPRISE – what about the blond haired lady sittng to their left – OOPS! – look harder – When you focus harder you will see realility!

    AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE – Whithout focus you may see what is not really there – and that is only half the fun – with focus you see realility and abstreact realility. You get two for one.

  • November 21, 2023 – I love street photography even though there is no street here!

    Street photography – Composition, color, and story are what I tried to put into this photo. The focused faces are to tell you that these two men are testing the model airplane, that they just mechanically worked on, to be sure the ailerons are woking correctly before take-off. They read the following headline about a full-sized plane and wanted to be sure it did not happen to their model.
