We said goodbye to the 9-11 memorial site and the new World Trade Center Tower, making our way past the fire station just around the corner. We saw an adorable little park. I love the giant rose. I also loved … Continue reading

New York City… day 1… part 5… 9-11 ground zero…

New York City… day 1… part 2… wait, there was a battle in Brooklyn???

New York City… day 1… part 1…

I guess, technically, it is day two, but we didn’t do much the first night. There is my older daughter Jessica, being all New Yorkey, in the elevator in her building, as we headed out for the first big day … Continue reading

How to see most of New York City in 3-and-a-half days, even if it almost kills you… part 1…

Unusually for me, I have decided, at least at first, to share the pictures of my recent adventure in New York City in the order that I took them. I doubt this will last. The crack squirrels in my head … Continue reading

Okay, I am back from my latest adventure, now try to guess where I went by looking at these photos…

Hey, I didn’t say I was going to make it easy on you. After flying for more than five hours… (hint)… I went up on a tall building and decided to practice with some more of my ‘wiggly light’ photography. … Continue reading
