My online journal where I share my interests in photography, nature, coffee life, journaling, fountain pens, bicycling, spirituality and asking deep questions.
So who would walk into a bathroom in New York City with his camera and take a photo of the urinal? Ya get three guess. While you are thinking of the answer I would like to share a sign I read once in a men’s bathroom. It said, “We aim to keep this bathroom clean, your aim will help.” Have an awesome day!
While in New York City I came across this young lady who was standing outside one of the theaters. She was handing out brochures for the upcoming shows and of course with her vibrant smile and personality she was catching everyones attention. When I asked her if I could take her photo she quickly agreed and gave me a beautiful smile and tipped her hat.
In between Cattail Chorus ponds and Kingfisher Point are two ponds, without names, or least I am unable to locate names for them. What I like about these ponds is there isolation. They lie within the city limits but with all the vegetation and adjacent natural areas the city seems nowhere around. This image was composed of three images and processed with the trial version of HDR Effex Pro.

As most of you know I look for images while walking around the areas near my hotels. This is one of the first images after I purchased the G12, number 7 to be exact. It let me know about the capability of the camera but, admittedly, it sure is not the most interesting of subjects and something we see daily. I’ve thought about creating a series of images depicting the abundant amount of trash we see strewn in our world. I don’t care where we go we will find plastic bags, bottles and cans, cigarette butts, parts that fall off our automobiles, and the list goes on. So bear with me as I may be posting a few more trashy images in the future.
A quick trip to a local nursery was the order of the day for my sister and I. She has this lifetime project of creating and maintaining a wonderful yard. These trips to the nursery are ways to find ideas for her sanctuary. I took the camera and found this Aphelandra squarrosa (commonly but ambiguously called “zebra plant”), which is a tropical plant of Brazil. This plant is often used as a house plant.
