The Story I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoy photographing Brooklyn Bridge Park. And just when I think there is nothing left for me to capture -- this image calls to me. Where am I specifically? Pier 1 -- north of the Brooklyn Bridge. And what is interesting about my time at Brooklyn Bridge Park -- is that I have never traveled south of Pier 1. Well, that is not entirely true. Last summer … [Read more...]
Location I am at Brooklyn Battery Park. Where specifically -- well it's in front of the Water Taxi stand. I hope that helps? The Story I never get tired of taking cityscape photographs of New York City. Especially, during the golden hours -- hour before sunrise and an hour after sunset. This particular capture was not taken during golden hour -- it was taken as the Sun was setting. I can't … [Read more...]
The Location This is the last photo I will be taking from Brooklyn Bridge Park. At least for 2012 or until the first good snowfall. The Story Jane's Carousel was such a gem as night finally fell on Brooklyn Bridge Park. The carousel was so brightly lit -- that it demanded to be captured. The sad turn of events is that this is only a 2 exposure shot. Why -- because the park closes at dusk. … [Read more...]
Location I can count on one hand the times I have crossed the Manhattan Bridge. But she is most certainly a site to see. The Story Yes, if this capture looks slightly familiar it's because I am still at Brooklyn Battery Park. I will be here for at least 1 more post :-) I can't say it enough times without sounding massively redundant. This section of Brooklyn’s East River … [Read more...]
Location This was taken from Brooklyn Bridge Park -- Pier 1, in Brooklyn, NY. This capture was taken at 5:27 PM. The Story Brooklyn Bridge Park is 85-acres and sits on Brooklyn's East River Shoreline. And it runs Brooklyn's post-industrial waterfront. And it's simply a photographers dream shoot. I have been to Brooklyn Bridge Park a number of times -- each time at a different location. … [Read more...]
Location This is a photo taken of the Verrazano Bridge. And the photo was taken from Buono Beach. The Story There is no story today. NYC and a large part of the East Coast are getting hammered by Hurricane Sandy. But I made a promise to myself that I would post every Monday, Tuesday and Friday. I hope that this storm passes quickly and that people, family, pets and property are as safe as … [Read more...]
Location This is the Manhattan Bridge. It was taken from the Brooklyn-side of the bridge. And it was not the bridge that caught my attention. It was the brilliant sky. This is the reason why I used the Lightroom Gradient Tool to underexpose the cityscape. The Story There are intentional manifestations in life. These are milestones that are set in place purposefully. Strategically. As … [Read more...]
Location Jane's carousel in Brooklyn Bridge Park is a family favorite. The cost is $2 and it's always crowded. But oddly the line is very short. The Story As children. There is a charm of the carousel. Could it be the dizzying melody? The circular journey? Or perhaps the random multicolored collection of horses? Or is the child simply in awe of the … [Read more...]
Location Across the street from the Brooklyn Battery Park. This is a selective B&W photo. I only allowed the red to come through. The Story We are smitten with long-ago. We habitually reminisce about what came before. Warmhearted memories shared with familia y amigos -- over tapas, vino y cerveza. But why? What is this fixation that we place so much value in? Is it because the … [Read more...]
