60+ inches so far

We have a lot of snow.

In traffic

I spend a lot of time in my car...

Lookin up

Every now and then I just look upward and see contrails. Secretly I am waiting to make that photo of the plane in front of the moon with contrails... still looking

Just cold

Cold, cold again

Another Snow day

Pod life, all these people live in pods.




Just an eerie scene in Cambridge today.

Overhead

Just look up now and then

In the Car

I find myself in the car for considerable periods of time, six hours one day, a few hours again another day. Often times in the past I have seen things as I drive by and thought , hmm, that was a nice image. So here is one of those examples.

My Charges

Two jobs, Dad & Photographer

Pigeons and boats

Pigeon parking over here



This has to be the worst shovel out this winter or a very inexpensive winter-izing of this vessel



There was some nice light this morning in Ashford CT

shaQ

He is one very big guy

Thirds

Strictly a rule of thirds thing

Blizzard

Today was a busy day. Lots of snow here, and lots of snow in Boston.



This guy got left out, no latte for him.




Lonely for a seat along the Charles.



I just like the lines



I sort of long for a time when I didn't have to do work anylonger



Running in the snow. Why, or why not?

Karate us, or we will Karate you.

Kungfu-shoe, Karate us cause it is a toll free number.

Swirling

water

Arrow Guy

No certain why this fellow was walking around with an arrow. It sure did help in letting us know what way he was headed.

Darth at Disney

Darth Vader, turns and flips his cape after being beaten back by jedi trainees!

Johnies

The old Johnies in Los Angeles, closed yet available for filming.

Things in threes

The Variety Building on Wilshire.


Poor Stan Lee, he gets a star on the walk of fame and his security folks nearly knock the old guy down.


Where else can you see Mary Poppins talking with Yoda? Only on Hollywood Blvd.

One can just see something that looks different, maybe because of point of view is different, or just not immediately obvious when you first see it.

Dave & Minta

I often wonder while I am shooting an image of someone, what it is they are thinking. This is one where I am pretty certain I know what is going through the subject's head.



His thoughts seem to be written out loud.

Daily photos

We all make resolutions to do this or not do that around the first of the year, but I don't want to 'do' but I would rather 'be' or accomplish attainable goals.
One of them is to be more creative in my everyday and I am going to set out to accomplish that.

Here it goes:

All things New

A new year has dawned and I would like to touch on the unfortunate passing.
The era of Kodachrome. Yea it was over on the 30th of December. I did try to get the last of mine all shot before that date but in waiting for something that i felt was worthy, too much time passed. Some of my first paid assignments were shot on Kodachrome and although I made the transition to digital in 1999 and began to phase film out of my regular assignments I still used it on occasion when I felt that it (the assignment or subject) had to be more permanently archived.
When it was announced that Kodachrome would no longer be made I thought, no way will Photographers allow it to be halted.
When it was announced that Dwayne's photo would not process any more k14 after the end of 2010, I thought, well some one will.
Then it hit me this summer. I have over fifty rolls of the stuff and I have to use it. Now!

So I told myself that I needed to find a subject worthy of my last Kodachrome and shoot it up.

I don't have the last of the images scanned yet, or even back from Dwayne's yet but when I do i will post some of them here.

I wish all of you a happy new year following this wake for Kodachrome.

UPDATE:
Well, it has been several days into 2011 and still no sign of my finals rolls of Kodachrome. A short conversation with Dwaynes Photo and I find out that they were inundated with film at the end of the year and are still trying to get through all of it. Those images will be up here soon.
