Sailors

I found this photo in my archives the other day - it was taken a long time ago on my very first trip to New York City as a young adult.  It's one of my favourites because I think it feels like a vintage photo, and also because I remember it was taken very spontaneously at a time when I was just discovering street photography.
    

A Gentle Breeze

Don't you love the way the wind is gently blowing this dog's ears?  

He seemed quite happy.

Just Like Heaven

I found paradise.

Coney Island

Coney Island was awfully cool and overcast on this particular weekend in July.  The water was freezing cold and the mood of the place was exactly as steely and grey as this photo.  Still, there were a few die-hard beach goers sitting about in beach chairs and bathing suits.  This fellow did not seem to mind the almost empty beach or the fine mist of rain that dampened the air.  Look at him just strolling by!

How I Get My Analogue Kicks

I love taking pictures with my toy camera.  There's a real freedom in shooting with it - you literally point and shoot without adjusting shutter speed or exposure.  I love the way it distorts everything.

Dog Days Of Summer

i love scorching hot sticky slow summer days

i don't want summer to end

A Moment In Brooklyn

These girls totally reminded me of my sister & I when we were around their age.  I have two sisters - one is much younger, and I'm only a year and a half apart from the other.  The two of us did everything together.  We teased (and were teased by) the same kids, had the same adventures, got in the same trouble, and our parents even dressed us in the same clothes up to a certain age.  Like any family, we've had tons of ups & downs, various growing pains, and the three of us are quite different from one another in many, many ways but we've been spending a lot of time together lately and I've been thinking about how lucky I am to have a family with sisters.
