The Grave of Edward and Mary

Yes, even more black and white!  This photo was made in the Sleepy Hollow cemetary, up the hill from the Old Dutch Burying Ground and Washinton Irving’s grave.  I really find the husband / wife pairings in the burying grounds interesting, and this shot turned out better than most of the others.

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.

Old Dutch Church / Tree Window

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.

Exit to nowhere and Chimping…

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.

Wood door @ Stone Barn

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.
