roaring into november

This weekend brought with it many photo-filled opportunities, including Heath's visit, a walk through Central Park, a visit to the American Museum of Natural History, the Village Halloween Parade, and the NYC Marathon. I'm the proud owner of a new Nikon D90, which is a huge upgrade from my Olympus E-300. Of course, the camera doesn't make the photographer, so hopefully I can create images that live up to the machine.

I've updated the NYC albums, both "urban" and "beyond urban", with nighttime photos of Times Square, macro images of bees and grasshoppers in the Conservatory Garden, and the silk cloth made from spider's silk, on display at the American Museum of Natural History. Check out my NYC marathon album, and my updates to Project Eat. (More to say on Project Eat in a later post.)

city living

My first week of seeking beauty in the city has resulted in some photos I like, but it has not yet changed my assessment of the city.

I thought I might embark on a project photographing taxis, but this was not very unique; I saw plenty of people doing the same thing over the weekend. So Plan B is to photograph people in the act of eating. With all the streetside vendors in the city, this should be a fun assignment.

Below is a sampling of photos from recent weeks. Click on the album title to see the full collection.
