Everything that doesn’t fit anywhere else
A hydrangea that lives in the driveway to our apartment building. I like the contrast between the flowers and the trunk, but I think I blew out the highlights in the flowers just a bit. Oh well.
First off, I have to give credit to another photographer for coming up with this idea. I don’t remember the gentleman’s name (I’ll go find out soon), but he has a small art exhibit at the framing shop in Tarrytown at the moment. His effort was executed with more precision, but the general idea is the same. What do you think?
[update] the original photographer was Rick Prokop.
Another shot of my garage in the morning before the daily commute. It really is quite a dreary way to start the day.
On a side note, I’ve been hanging around in the forums over on fredmiranda.com and kept hearing about “chimping”. I had no idea what they were talking about, but finally, a video explains it all.
This is the door into the sample garden at the Blue Hill @ Stone Barns restaurant where Mandy and I have yet to eat. I came across this near the end of the day while Mandy’s parents were in town, the weekend after we were engaged. I don’t think I did it justice, but the light after our geocaching adventure was wonderful; the sun was hiding behing some clouds on and off and nearing the Palisades on the other side of the river.

The parking garage next to my apartment building has this gloomy, dank feel to it that I was trying to capture with this photograph. I walk through it every morning on my way to work, and after a nice walk in the sun the garage, the actual garage is often a bit.. foreboding. This is spot #11, where a neighboor parks. Most spots in the garage have assorted stuff in front of them, giving you a minor glimpse into the owner’s life.
I’m still not sure what the chain’s for though…
