One Snowy Day

New York: Central Park

Inspiration: This was taken only a week ago, but this Friday couldn't be more different from last Friday.  It was 50 degrees farenheit today!  

Central Park: Snow From Storm Nemo

New York: Central Park

Inspiration: Frankly, we got lucky in Manhattan.  For the first real snowstorm of this winter season, Storm Nemo delivered Manhattan just enough snow to create beautiful photos and lots of fun but not so much as to be devastating.  That said, I cannot speak for the outer boroughs or Connecticut, certain parts of which received 30 whopping inches of snow!

Tunnel in Abstract

New York: Central Park

Inspiration: I took this quite by accident.  But when I saw the result of my over-exposed, slow motion, wide open aperture shot, I liked it.  

Central Park: Angel of the Waters

New York: Central Park

Inspiration: I want a pair of wings.

On the Street

New York: Gramercy Park South

Inspiration:  Starting the day off with some sun!

From the Archives: Manhattan Bridge

New York: Manhattan Bridge

Inspiration: I found this photo in my archives of unposted photographs this evening.  It's two years old but I still like it.  There's something cool about those beams of light hitting the water! 

Good Misty Morning

New York: Gramercy Park

Inspiration:  The past two mornings have been unseasonably warm and misty . . . But quite beautiful. On another note, have I mentioned that I've seen John Galliano working out with a trainer in my gym three times now?  The first time  saw him, I thought it was a guy who looked eerily like JG.  But now, this morning, after seeing him inches away from me, I know for sure.  I've read he is in town working with Oscar De la Renta.  I really hope the rest of the fashion cognoscenti relent and allow this genius back into the fold.  

A Wintry Urban Oasis

Vienna, Austria

Inspiration: Three weeks after my trip to Vienna and I am still inspired by the gorgeous winter light I encountered there.  This sunny woods was right in the middle of the city, which is why I refer to this as an urban oasis, albeit a wintry one.

St. Charles Church

Vienna, Austria: St. Charles Church in Wieden

Inspiration: I loved the architecture . . . I can't believe that three weeks have already gone by since my trip to Wien!  Have to start planning my next trip! I think I want to go to Berlin.

Straight Down the Middle, Pt. II

Vienna, Austria: Schonbrunn Gardens

Inspiration: I tried to balance this shot . . . but it's not quite perfect.  But good enough to post, I guess.  I like this one more, I think.
