Columbus Cirlcle 2009

Considering how loyal I’ve been to black & white film the past 25 years, the decision to shoot color has been difficult…I think I should do it. Those who know me, know that I find discussing the technical side of photography very boring. I enjoy the stories about how a shot was taken much more than which lens or film was used. This picture is better because I had color film in my camera. I can always turn it into a grayscale file if needed. I promise not to bore anyone any further with this topic!

(If I can’t get decent results with the Kodak portra 800 film all bets are off)

“This Bud’s For You” 1990

I keep putting off the posting of many of the pictures I took on September 11th…Maybe I’m trying to delay explaining in detail, what happened to my daughter. I know that the images will make most people sad, but since I started to post some from the days after the 11th, shouldn’t I just keep going? I also have to contain myself from going on and on about how much I despise organized religion. The psychos on the planes that day, propelled the religious right in America to make one terrible decision after another. Since what I have to say matters very little, I’ll just try and keep it to myself…

NYC 2009

It took awhile, but this image has grown on me. I don’t want to post crap on this site. I don’t want to post crap on flickr. Lately there’s been a lot of talk about how the sheer number of photographs being taken and shared, has diluted their worth or significance. When you consider the success rate for street photography, the problem is multiplied a hundred times!
