And with the moonset the enormous blob of white light fell past the horizon at Letchworth State Park, leaving me great conditions to shoot the Milky Way, which seemed to originate from the park’s iconic steel bridge. But while the light was still bright (below), it illuminated the waters around Read more…
The highly accoladed Letchworth State Park is one of New York’s gems. Though I knew I was more interested in spending time there after the sun and the moon set, given its darker sky but close proximity to Rochester, the daytime brought easy views of the park’s prominent features: waterfalls.

You know how the full moon makes some turn into a werewolf? The New Moon turns me into a wild brog with a tripod. But alas, the slither of land that is suspended in front of Connecticut’s shore is light polluted. Still, some nice faint Milky Way shots: At Custer Read more…

Though a bright sliver of an orange hazy moon illuminated Long Island’s North Fork so brightly, the Milky Way waved hello faintly. And though I am attempting this shoot again next week, with the arrival of the New Moon, the subtle Milky Way is still so dreamy. β€οΈ π» π Read more…

It isn’t until you experience the death of someone close to you that you decide what you believe–what makes sense to your heart, what makes sense to your hurt. Because what is and the life of your emotions don’t intersect sometimes. Resourceful buggers, some emotions can sustain themselves in a Read more…

Jumping into Coney Island after many days of being away, my love for Brooklyn surged. There is nothing like this place. Nowhere. So while waiting to get into the Brooklyn Cyclones game, I had to capture all I could as it hummed and buzzed and knocked into me and didn’t Read more…

It’s the season of pretty, when color comes back to captivate. Spring has a haunting power that beckons, that determines winter’s way of life no longer tolerable.

The glorious beauty of the Montauk shore, which looks upon a sparkling unending blue, is that it contains hoodoos,–rock formations etched into the bluffs.
