Asbury Park in winter

Welcome to Asbury Park, NJ, in the winter.


I like abandoned places. Not really sure why, I just do.



Old theaters are the best too. They always evoke a vintage nostalgia even if you aren't old enough to remember going to one.



This guy was walking in the middle of the road. I'm going to guess he is paranoid and thinks that if he walks in the road nobody can sneak up on him by foot. Maybe he's allergic to sidewalks?

More people walking in the street...


Fried seafood and sub? Fried subs? Really?

The aftermath of a Christmas blow up doll massacre!

I make dog poop bag holders, cards for all occasions with collages I did using vintage comic books, putting more photography up soon, my paintings...

like I said, check it out and then again because I will be adding more stuff very often. Hugs to all!

First Snow Storm of 2009 Winter NYC

So much for an endless summer...

Tis the season...

For some people in New York City this is how taking a bath can feel when the hot water doesn't work.

Snow, snow, snow...la neige, la neige, la neige...


NYPD in da snow...


Love when the snow is fresh on the sidewalks of New York, light and powdery. Before the next day when it all turns to mush.

Guns and Roses played in Subway

This guy was playing in the subway station at Union Square, NYC. A very unusual instrument...and I love how "into it" he is.

Santas take the Subway

If your gifts arrive late this year it's because the Santas have to take the New York City Subway. So if your stockings aren't stuffed and your cookies are left untouched you can thank the MTA for their delayed trains, lack of trains, service disruptions, service changes without warning, lack of service, etc...




Thank you for riding with the MTA and hopefully you will be able to complete your trip before X-mas.

A Train Ride

Meet Silva Maranhão

Meet Silva Maranhão.
He is a Brazilian painter whom I had the pleasure of photographing on his first trip to New York City.



You can read a biography about the artist and find out more about his art on http://theartofsilvamaranhao.com/Introduction.html

Some of my photos are on that website as well.

Algeria & Egypt take to the streets of Astoria

This was a friendly demonstration between Algerians and Egyptians in Astoria. I know it had to do with soccer and the world cup because I asked someone on the street that day.

Meet Jane

Meet Jane.
Her shirt reads "KILL'EM ALL, Let God Sort'Em Out".
I followed her into a local pub and she was more than happy to let me take her picture. She even told me where I could go to get a tee shirt like this of my very own.

Thank you Jane.
