A Watershed on LI

Photo 330 - 331: After getting a tornado warning, climbing a fence, fighting off bugs and spiders and then chit chatting with a very nice police officer about trespassing (kidding lol), I made it back home with these photos of the old and abandoned Brooklyn Waterworks. I loved this site... the weather was perfect, blue skies spotted with clouds, and a little spray paint to give this burnt out landmark a little color. Needless to say I was in photographer heaven. I'd love to do a cool portrait session out here, but when I mentioned that to one of my coworkers, she thought I was insane. lol I just KNOW that the right person with the right dress would equal amazing pictures. I'll be posting all week about the great shots I found at this site each with its own angle and edge.

Ooops... More Lake Please?

Photo 325 - 326: I shot, edited and posted some more Lake Tahoe pictures last week... but oops I forgot two, so here are the stragglers. My bad! I don't know why that happened, but I corrected my little snafu (sp?) and continue with my photo hunt this weekend. Long Island + Brooklyn Waterworks here I come. Can't wait to see what shots I see. :)

These pictures remind me a little bit of Hallstadt in Austria - minus the sunshine. I can't wait to go back and see it with a little sunshine thrown in. When Candice and I were there in 2008 we froze, got rained on and were just absolutely cold. All the wine and schnitzel helped though! lol

What Happened to Summer?

Photo 304: Now that the air has turned fall-ish again (what???), and I'm wondering if we skipped ahead to NOVEMBER, I also realize that this is the time where the air is crisp, and so are the pictures. My company just moved to midtown Manhattan, and this (see below) is what I get to walk by every morning. It's quite the atmosphere change, from a busy beehive of disgruntled New Yorkers shoving aside tourists in Grand Central to a more relaxed Park Avenue-ish area where you can find the cutest little Italian wine bar just around the corner right across from a vegetarian Indian restaurant. It's crazy, it's loud, it's wonderful -- all wrapped up into one beautiful adventure.

"In Washington, the first thing people tell you what their job is. In Los Angeles you learn their star sign. In Houston you're told how rich they are. And in New York, they tell you what their rent is." -- S. Hoogart -- SO TRUE! lol

A Weekend and a Wedding

Photo 286: We interrupt the scheduled programming to bring you this image of upstate New York... I went to a beautiful wedding this weekend, and despite a two-hour delay due to a bus getting lost with 30 wedding guests, the sun was shining, the birds were chirping, the weather was perfect, and the bride even prettier. The great thing about there being a delay though was the beautiful sunset! THIS was the backdrop not only to the ceremony, but the pictures the bride and groom took afterwards. It couldn't have been any more amazing...

Rain Instead of Snow

Photo 160: So I was expecting some snow to fall this weekend, and we got wet, that's about it. Even the poor leaves were bowing their little leaves with the onslought, but it's ok, I have a feeling it's going to be a white Christmas soon. And I'll be enjoying it in three different states this month, so "let it snow, let it snow..."
