Typically when I take a photo at a museum, I’ll also take a shot of the placard describing the exhibit. Not so for this ten-stringed instrument… but I love the intricate woodwork, so I decided to share it anyways.
New Mexico Road
August 31, 2014
I have posted other photos from New Mexico, as I have family there and find my way there more than anywhere else I travel. This was from a trip to the Land of Enchantment in March, and I went for a six mile run outside of Taos. As you can see, I pretty much had […]
The Face of a Queen
February 9, 2014
This sculpture is made from yellow Jasper, some time during the 18th dynasty (Egypt), during the reign of Akhenaten (1353 to 1336 B.C.). It’s on display at the Met in New York, part of a very nice Egyptian collection. Worth the trip.
Pollack
October 13, 2013
Autumn Rhythm, Number 30 (1950), Jackson Pollack No photo ever does a Pollack justice. I’m almost embarrassed to post this. Really – just go to New York and see it for yourself. It’s at The Met.
Taking a bite
September 8, 2013
Are you biting the apple, or will the apple bite you? Sophie made this, and then we ate it. Good times!
Bubbles in the Park
August 17, 2013
This guy was blowing bubbles in Central Park. Some of them were the size of a small car! Look closely in the image above and you’ll see that the one he’s working on is stretched all the way across the photo. Below is a bubble about three feet across. When it hit the ground, […]
Street View
February 10, 2013
A little on the abstract side, this net of colorful shapes was found over a street in down-town Boston.
Crisis
September 10, 2012
This is the inside of my PC. It’s probably been about ten years, but I assembled one of these once. I picked out the parts, ordered them online, and when everything came to the house, I assembled them, loaded the operating system, and had a pretty nice computer; one that lasted me about eight years. […]
Goodbye, David
August 21, 2012
I was laid off in September 2008 after moving across the country for my dream job. My family was experiencing great personal strife (kids in one state, parents in another), and I was without the means to provide for anyone who depended on me. If you know me, you understand that I’ve just laid myself […]
Lamp
July 9, 2012
This photo of a lamp on a building is the kind of thing that makes me wish for some way to elevate my lens when I’m on a photo walk. I like the picture, but if I could just have taken it from ten feet higher, the angle would be that much better.
