Anyway… here are some of the black & white shots I’ve taken recently…

De Kooning Exhibit at the MOMA
Today I had a great time going to the De Kooning exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Shown on this post are some of my favorite paintings in the show, although they look better in person. 19335

My daughter and I had a great hike today at Huntington State Park. Thousands of trees were down and snapped off from the recent snowstorm blocking the paths at every turn.
New Poem by Me: Outside the SAT Cheering “Go Team!”

Early Photos of October Snow
Yesterday we got 10-16 inches of snow. It was odd to see snow on the trees while they still had leaves. Today, many branches are down due to the weight of all the snow that was captured by those leaves. We are without power for the indefinite future… When just the first two inches were … Read more
