Happy Fourth wherever you are....to me here on the northern hemisphere It is the height of summer - blueberries, watermelon, bar-b-ques and fireworks. A day at the beach when everything is warm, alive and inviting.

Hydrangeas is full blossom...Frisbees in the air. Flags and fireflies.

Preparing rto travel for the Fourth of July long weekend, 5th Av E train Station, downtown platform.

This platform has soft diffuse light. Here is another picture from a few days ago.




Although it is not at all its strength, I still use the BB sometimes for traditional compositions - here the camera shows its weakness - lack of sharp focus and small file size, et al.



I still take these types of photographs, like a moth drawn to a flame....

My company apparently stopped their subsidy of MOMA on July 1 - I cannot get in for free anymore. I need to decide if I will pay the $70 annual personal membership. I probably will. In the meantime, I am taking photographs in the lobby. Free and easy,

This one is good. A digital camera LED is a magical dish illuminated.

The news, reflected, just hours before Michael Jackson died.













Commuter morning, again...BB shots form late last week.

Note how crowded Penn was, but a few feet away and seconds later I took the photo of the woman fixing her hair. A quiet moment in a crowd, standing aside near the elevator that takes you to Tracks 20 and 21...

We all find peace and beauty anyway we can, huh.

More beach shots, BB shots. Yes, the two children in the post below are my younger children - Mariana and Alex.
