The Photodiarist

Cloud Cover

New York: Coney Island, Brooklyn

Inspiration: Lesson learned: Sun and warm weather get all the love but even cold, cloudy, overcast days have a lot of beauty to give too. 

Bleak

New York: West Side Highway

Inspiration: I know I should not wish time away . . . but dios mio! Winter is so damn bleak. It's actually a good time for black and white photography since there's hardly any color to be missed anyway. Ahh sweet Springtime. I am anxiously awaiting you.

Gorgeous Eyes

Paris: Rue de Castiglione

Inspiration: Paris again. Fashion again. Portraits again. I know. But I love this photo. The expression on her face. The remnants of glitter on her eyes after the fashion show. It's hard to believe that New York Fashion Week A/W 2012 is less than a month away. This time I am only photographing a few days in New York. And then I'll be checking out my favorite blogs to see what's happening in London, Milan and Paris.

Bridge Over the Hudson River

New York: Hudson River Valley

Inspiration: I wanted a little field trip yesterday so he and I went to Rhinebeck in the Hudson River Valley. On the way, we crossed a bridge or two . . . Since we live on an island and cross bridges all the time, we often take them for granted. We sometimes forget what magnificent feats of engineering bridges are . . . complex mechanical beasts of transportation indeed.  

The World Through My Umbrella

New York: Gramercy Park

Inspiration: I will be seeing the world through my umbrella today. It's raining so damn hard right now.  Just back from the gym and am soaked - more from rain than sweat, I am afraid.

Happy New Year

New York: Washington Square Park

Inspiration: Happy New Year everyone! Here's to a fabulous 2012 filled with lots of photographs!
