Obscura Photog

Welcome to my blog. I post recent pictures for people to look at and discuss and critique. I will also post links to interesting photography, web sites, photo tutorial sites, design sites, and other blogs that I keep up with. There are alot of interesting and accessible sites out there. I'm also looking into developing more web hosting opportunities and announcements of interesting art installations, gallery shows, and whatever might be of interest here in New York City and/or around the globe. Thanks for checking things out and please feel free to comment, critique, make suggestions, or plug your own blog. All the best!

Concrete Jungle Where Dreams are Made of...

Here's the view from my office. It's a great view, Southern exposure, can see the world trade site. The new freedom tower, or World Trade 1, is just now starting to become visible. There's also a view of the Gehry Building to the left, but it didn't photograph well, I'll have to try again. Hope you like.

The Concord

Here are some pictures that I took for my current office: Tillotson Design Associates. It's of the Concord, duh. It's on the pier where the Intrepid Museum is near midtown. Hope you like.

The Pond

So it's been a while since I've been able to post. Not for lack of trying. I have finally gotten around to processing some shots from an area of Central Park called "The Pond." It's famous. You've heard of it, or at least seen it. Waldorf Astoria is in the background. Been in tons of movies. These are summer shots. I will do winter shots when the first snow comes. Take a look and let me know what you think.
