All photos mine. As a teenager, I loved a class that spurred my interest in creating and sharing photographic images. For most of my adult life, I put that interest aside. Decades later, I have taken up photography again. I hope you enjoy!

Last Notes npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth Love’s not the lock; it’s the hole cut in the fence. If William Blake didn’t say it, he should have. #NYC #photography #smartphone #love npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth Clusters of verticals rise in New York. This shot of Manhattan from the Brooklyn Bridge Park pile field includes some of the park's trees, which I think provides more visual contrast than my previous effort from a few weeks back. The new Rollei 35AF does not, however, beat the quality of the old Nikonos V. #photography #NYC #monochrome #ClassicMono #Manhattan #Brooklyn npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth Near the Old Barn at Valles Caldera National Preserve near Jemez, New Mexico. #photography #landscape #NewMexico npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth The moon sets behind the Statue of Liberty. A gift from France, the figure commemorates independence from monarchy, abolition of slavery, and hospitality toward refugees. The work continues, so pick appropriate tasks and bear down. (I apologize for repeating the subject, however beautiful the sculpture and the moon may be, but I find nighttime exposures to be challenging, so I need the practice.) #photography #NYC #moon #Brooklyn npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth "Is there a Mr. Tumnus here?" I don't yet love my Rollei 35AF, but I can't say exactly why. It's not as primitive as the old Nikonos nor as powerful as the Nikon Z6ii. I'm going to shoot a few more rolls before I decide whether to sell it or not. #photography #monochrome #Rollei35AF #BelieveInFilm npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth The petrified remains of a troll, Hvítserkur rises 15 meters from the sea. Geologists would tell you that it is a sea stack composed of basaltic rock, but what fun is that? #photography #Iceland npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth I came to Stokksnes at 20:00 to wait for the sun set behind Vestrahorn. It’s good that I took this shot upon my arrival, as the fog rolled in, and I never saw the mountain again. I was told that if the weather in Iceland cooperates for 50% of your shots, you’re doing great. #photography #Iceland #landscape npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth Hallgrímskirkja, a Lutheran church with architecture that evokes Iceland's natural basalt formations, stands atop the hill at the center of Reykjavík. #photography #Iceland npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth Come visit Iceland. They’ll leave the light on for you. #photography #landscape #Iceland npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth I burned through a lot of digital memory photographing the puffins at Dyrhólaey. I will never again chuckle to myself when I see tourists in New York City’s Central Park obsessively photographing squirrels. #photography #Iceland #bird #puffin npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth Most Icelandic stables wisely keep their horses back from the road to prevent tourists from bothering them. If, like me, you prefer photographing horses to riding them, you can simply inquire about hiring some equine models. #photography #Iceland #horse npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth You've heard of defensive driving? This car owner clearly believes in defensive parking. Nothing prevents door dings better than a couple of inches of concrete! #photography #smartphone #car #BMW npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth I am currently trashing decades of crappy digital photos. When I find one that amuses me, I will post it. Trust me, it will not be often. #Ecuador #monochrome #photography npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth Watch your step! #Smartphone #Photography #Connecticut npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth Years ago, when I worked on the East Side and could catch a decent break, I used to love to walk down to the Central Park to watch the urban yachting. I returned and watched them once again. #NYC #photography #BelieveInFilm npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth The Founder. #photography #Azores #pineapple npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth I had just begun to get the hang of shooting Ferrania P30 film when I learned that it had been discontinued. Alas, I liked the fine grain and high contrast. #photography #BelieveInFilm #NYC npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth A friend of mine invited me up to see his father's Ford Model A in a car show. Then he forgot about the car show. I had driven an hour anyhow, so he took it out of the barn for me to take a photo. He is the car's second owner. His grandson, once he gets a chance, wants to hot rod it. Oy. #Photography #Connecticut #Ford npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth New England vernacular #photography #monochrome #BelieveInFilm npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth This little bird was not pleased to have its bath interrupted. #photography #monochrome #BelieveInFilm npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth Fogged in. #photography #monochrome #BelieveInFilm #Connecticut npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth Here's another shot from the first roll through the Pho-Tak Traveler box camera. It shows some exposure variation on the left side of the frame. Is this shutter lag? If you have insights, please let me know in the comments. #photography #landscape #monochrome #BelieveInFilm #ShittyCameraChallenge #Connecticut #PhoTak npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth A friend who had been using this 1950s junk store camera as a stash box gifted it to me. The Pho-Tak "Time" Traveler has a shutter speed of 1/50 of a second and an f stop of 11. The lens is a simple meniscus. I shot a roll of CineStill BWxx and a roll of CineStill 400D. If anything comes of it, I will let you know. #photography #ShittyCameraChallenge #Pho-Tak npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth Students in a rowing eight practice on the Mianus River. #photography #monochrome #Connecticut npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth The competitors in this weeks round of the shuffleboard championships at the bar and grill that I call local while I remain a sloth in exile in Connecticut. #photography #monochrome #sports #Connecticut npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth Sunday Funday!

Weak.” #photography #landscape #Arizona npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth Here's a quick snap from walking the dog today. I did also mail off a roll of CineStill BWxx film to be processed, so fingers crossed that I get some decent shots to share. Early this morning I hoped to photograph the moon setting behind the defunct Harbor Point power station, but in the pre-dawn rain it became obvious that the weather would completely obscure the moon. #photography #SmartPhone #Connecticut npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth Here is more from my recent experimentation in #film #photography using my father's old #Nikonos dive camera. #BelieveInFilm #BlackAndWhite #IGotARock #Connecticut npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth Jimmy poses as an apex predator. The rabbits remain unimpressed. #dog #DogsOfPixelfed #DogsOfMastodon Between his puppy schedule and my own temporary photosensitivity (antibiotics), I have not been out and about for #photography. I miss landscape shooting (and the hiking it entails) and hope to return to it soon. npub1jpftkl7l948jng3a4z5vjykt46d48kjqh8wezrs55ccmzd3rw9zsfsuhx4 NYSloth Always look both ways! The hike up to the Corona and Pinto Arches requires crossing the train tracks. #photography #Utah #railroad
