The petrified remains of a troll, Hvítserkur rises 15 meters from the sea. Geologists would tell you that it is a sea stack composed of basaltic rock, but what fun is that? #photography #Iceland
A dark rock formation resembling a drinking rhinoceros rises from the sea. Behind it, the clouds catch the light of a sun that is beginning to set at 20:30.

Clusters of verticals rise in New York. This shot of Manhattan from the Brooklyn Bridge Park pile field includes some of the park's trees, which I think provides more visual contrast than my previous effort from a few weeks back. The new Rollei 35AF does not […]

A field of pilings stands in the East River; the deck they once supported is long gone. On the left half of the photo, across the river, rise the buildings of Lower Manhattan. The right half of the picture shows some of the park's trees.

The Statue of Liberty stands in Upper New York Bay with gray skies and a flock of shipping container cranes providing the backdrop. A waning crescent moon hides behind the clouds next to the torch, but, alas, Sunday’s weather prevents you from seeing it.

A beaver moon rises over Manhattan. #photography #nyc #NewYork (I still am annoyed that, for various reasons, I haven’t produced the shot of the moon that I want, but each time I fail in a new way, so I guess I’m learning.)
A full moon rises from behind the buildings of lower Manhattan, most notably One World Trade Center, as seen from New Jersey.

A series of autumn photos taken in Parc du Cinquantenaire, Brussels. Tree-lined paths covered in golden leaves, soft afternoon sunlight filtering through the branches, and park benches surrounded by warm autumn tones — capturing the calm beauty of the season in the heart of the city.

A mackerel tabby rests with his head down and his front paws extended. He squints, giving him the appearance of brooding or, more likely, scheming.

On the way back from the beach, I stopped at the burying ground to shoot some film with the Nikonos. The oldest engraved headstone is dated 1718, but there are plain field stones that mark graves from a time closer to Elizabeth Feake Hallet's purchase of the […]

The sun illuminates about a dozen traditional New England gravestones. All are significantly off of plumb vertical. They contrast strongly with the dark evergreens in the background.

#photography #classicmono #monochrome #believeinfilm I took my Rollei 35AF to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to see if I could learn to produce better results with it. It is so portable that I want to love it and am beginning to think that I will.

A fluffy golden brindle dog with white markings looks at the camera with his pink tongue hanging out. Golden fall foliage provides the backdrop.

More puffins, anyone? I caught one in flight here. Puffins are not graceful fliers. They launch, it seems, using sheer determination. Imagine a penguin flapping so hard and so fast that it lifts off. Something like that. Puffins may be cute, but they have grit. #photography #Iceland #bird #puffin
Three puffins perch on the edge of a grassy cliffside. In the background, a fourth puffin has launched itself toward the sea.

"Is there a Mr. Tumnus here? Seymour Tumnus?" I don't yet love my Rollei 35AF, but I can't say exactly why. It's not as primitive as the old Nikonos nor as powerful as the Nikon Z6ii. I'm going to shoot a few more rolls before I decide whether to sell it or […]

I am delighted to have my old Nikonos dive camera repaired and functioning once again. I have heard it called "the poor man's Leica." I don't know about that, but I do love it! #photography #nyc #believeinfilm #nikonos

There’s something really enjoyable about counting off exposure time by quietly muttering “one Mississippi” to approximate a single second of open shutter. Followers may recall that a friend gave me an old Pho-Tak box camera which appears as my profile avatar […]

The left half of the photo shows the right shoulder, mane, and snout of Fortitude, one of the two sculpted lions guarding the library at Fifth Avenue and 42nd street. The right half of the photo shows the arched windows and American flags of the Beaux Art Astor Trust Company building. A woman in a flowing black outfit admires an element of Jennie C. Jones’s musical sculpture Ensemble. The piece shown rises about three meters from its plinth and is comprised of two geometric prisms made of steel. Musical strings drawn tautly over a soundbar bar on the right hand prism enable it to be tuned and played like a zither. Visitors to the rooftop garden at the Metropolitan Museum of Art chat with each other and take photos over the hedge that defines the terrace’s edge. In the background across Central Park stands the El Dorado and other apartment buildings. The monochrome photograph provides a low angle view of Roman marble copy of a Greek bronze sculpture of a female figure, right arm raised to its head, its torso half covered by its dress.

This photo of the lower Manhattan skyline from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade was taken with my forty year old Nikonos dive camera. It shows Brooklyn Bridge Park in the foreground, the East River in the middle distance, about three dozen high rise buildings on the opposite shore, and a few puffy clouds floating by above it all. I had planned to come back to this location to use contemporary equipment to shoot digital photos of a full moon behind the Statue of Liberty, but the weather turned against me, so I stayed in bed.
