On Broadway

This interesting building was on Broadway and 73rd St. in NYC. What I love most about the Canon powershot hs50 sx is the zoom. The small lightweight camera zoom is perfect for travel photography. Saves me from carrying a lot of gear. I was very unhappy when Canon butchered the new model. As a real photographer I would gladly give up all the gimmicky gadgets meaning the scene modes, face detection, and so on and keep the real stuff like raw format, flash mount, faster focusing. Just my opinion.

Who You Gonna Call

My recent trip to New York City I got a chance to photograph the famous apartment building that was possessed by Zuul the Gatekeeper of Gozer in the 1984 Ghostbuster movie. I took a few creative liberties and added some effects to the images.

Tips for Birding in Florida

Things you need to get right when photographing birds. Always have the eyes sharp. Make sure the bird is showing a frontal or side view. Always get a proper exposure. This white egret is very difficult to capture all it's details in the white feathers against the blue background, but when done right it looks awesome.

Race Day

This image is one I shot last year at Presque Isle Raceway in Erie. I wanted to re-work it with new Aurora HDR pro software.

Lucy.....I'm home

I just had to stop and grab this picture. I was in Jamestown,NY the birth place of the great comedian Lucille Ball and I saw this mural and just couldn't resist snapping a picture. Everyone my age grew up watching episode after episode of I Love Lucy. This mural depicts Lucy, Ricky, Fred and Ethel driving in a convertible having a great time. Such great comedians and such great memories. The mural is huge and painted on the side of a three story building on Harrison Street right across from Friendly's Restaurant.
